About Wiring Harnesses, Cables & Connectors

Connectors and pigtails let you plug a gauge, light or accessory into a machine's wiring instead of splicing into factory wire. That keeps the work reversible and makes later troubleshooting easier.

This is a very small category. The one listing is a set of Power Tap pigtails for Polaris from Namz. Match the connector to your machine's connector by shape, pin count and latch, and check the listing for the Polaris models and years it names. For a lasting connection, crimp or solder the wire, cover the joint with heat-shrink and secure the wire away from heat and moving parts.

The brand here is Namz. For related parts, see Individual Gauges, Instrument & Gauge Parts and Instrument Clusters, all part of Instruments & Gauges.

FAQs on wiring pigtails and connectors

What is a wiring pigtail?

A pigtail is a short length of wire with a connector on one end. You join the free wires to your accessory's wiring, and the connector plugs into the machine, so you do not have to cut the factory harness.

How do I match a connector to my machine?

Compare the connector's shape, the number of pins and the locking latch with the plug on your machine. A listing that names your make, model and year helps, but check the plug itself before you order.

Should I add a fuse when connecting an accessory?

Yes. Fit a fuse in the accessory's power wire, close to the power source and rated for the wire and the accessory, and follow the accessory maker's instructions. A fuse protects the wiring if something shorts.

How do I make a connection that lasts?

Use a proper crimp or solder joint, cover it with heat-shrink and keep the wire clear of heat, sharp edges and moving parts. Secure it with ties so vibration does not rub through the insulation.
