P1000 Riddle me this on my switches

[EricG]

Ok say I have the plate from Mystic and I am working on putting my OTRATTW switches in. They are lower independent. So I jumped all the 7 and 8 circuits together. I also have the dual battery isolator with the dual voltage readout. The harness that came with this has a spare ground wire which so since the harness is right by the switch panel I tied to that spare ground. I then took circuit 6 and tapped into the brown wire (which I think is the headlight wire). My issue is the lower lights come on upon ignition. I thought this would allow the lower lights on only when the headlights were turned on. Where did I go wrong here? Any help appreciated. I attached the switch diagram.

Here is the wire I tapped for the lights

Sounds like the brown wire is hot with key on wire.
You may need to tap into the low beam headlights wire. I think the low beam are on also with the high beam.

DO you happened to know which wire that is? I have to imagine its the wrong wire for headlights. Its a 2017 deluxe, I was following the sticky thread on what wire to tap for the headlights, maybe the wiring changed if that was for a 16 model? Thanks for the reply!

I got it. It was off the wrong harness and that other wire was obviously keyed hot. Thank so much!

Ok please post a couple pics! I am in the process of hooking up the upper lites on my panel. I have a second battery being delivered today. I want mine to come on when key is on. Glad we could help

The key on power comes the upper black wire harness. You will see 3 harnesses, 2 black and 1 white. You need to strip the sheathing back on the top harness that is black. If you pop your driver side cup holder out you can actually wiggle the wire if you pull it hard enough to verify this. My mistake was tapping the wire in the white harness.

It is also the smaller of the 2 wire harnesses

You want key on power, sorry about that. That is off that 15 amp acc fuse on the fuse block. Here is the write up for that

I also believe people pull power off the 12 volt accessory plug wire for key on power. That first wire I tapped was in error so I wouldn't trust using that long term although it worked by mistake for me I have no idea what that actually powers up.

Yes I want the uppers lit anytime the switch is on, I may not want my headlites on and still be able to see the switches.
But thank you for the info, it will surel help someone else on here.

Then you just need to tap the one in the sticky thread. Wealth of info on here and ton of great guys that help you.
