Wiring up heated shield to sled.

[TrueBlue]

I have a 2002 Viper ( no battery). Are there different ways to wire up the connection to the sled. I thought I saw on here somewhere where people
did it different ways. Looking for suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I wire them to the tail light wire under the seat,

easiest way to get good clean power is off the blue/white wire from the headlight dimmer switch on the handlebar.

Thanks for that information. The blue/white wires for the headlight
dimmer switch sounds like a good idea. Which of these wires is the
positive & where do you hang the connector from. With this set-up
will I lose some brightness from the headlight.

Not the blue and white wires if i understand what you typed. It is a blue wire with a white stripe under the handle bar pad. This is your positive, the other wire on your harness is a ground. I ground it to the handle bar stem. No loss of brightness on headlight. I just run mine down the pad and let it hang. CCC

Thanks for the information on the blue/white wire. I looked at the the
wiring in the service manual last night & found that out but thanks again.

Yep, exactly what I did.
