Bashan Brozz Recon - USB Accessory Install

RHINO · 05-23-2020, 07:02 PM

I just put together my Recon here in Alaska and purchased a USB charger for it and I'm stumped on where I should connect the wires to the electrical system. I've search all over and can't find where someone has posted instructions on how to complete this. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

I should clarify that I want to connect this to shut off with the ignition switch and not have it directly connected to the battery to avoid forgetting the onboard switch as I will forget to turn that switch off after riding.

When I installed the USB charging port on my TBR7, I cut the wires that went to the dinky little daytime running bulb and used them. It cuts off with the ignition switch. I don't miss the bulb since I always ride with my headlight.

Great (and correct) information!

I have found that on most (all that I've worked on) Chinese machines thst these colors and functions are as you describe.

I just connected driving lamps on a Taotao atv hooked to switched 12v, it was indeed a black wire.

So I wired mine to the running light and realized it only powers on when the headlights are off and in the Park / Running light position. With this setup you cannot use the device for charging if you are riding at night or driving with the headlight on. Is there another place I could tap into that will provide constant power while the key is turned on? I'm thinking maybe something in the digital instrument cluster?
