I ride a 2016LE. Prepping for a forthcoming camping holiday in France I find that none of my 12 volt accessories ie electric low pressure air pump (for my air bed) or high pressure tyre pump works for more than a few seconds. I assume this is all to do with the Can Bus electrics on the bike but it’s a pain in the axxx.
Any suggestions please!

Re: Accessory socket issues
I think the accessory sockets switch off pretty soon after the ignition is switched off. Could it be that?
Re: Accessory socket issues
You are correct in that the accessory socket will not support your pump. Install an SAE connector to the battery & solve your problems.

I solved the issue by adding a DIN connector from powerlet just below pillion seat in the triangle plastic piece. It’s fused direct to battery, I have also installed one above the factory plug on another bike using the 24in kit from powerlet

I had exactly the same problem Gary with my 12v pump, and as you say it just cuts out. Like the others, I attach it via the battery -ve terminal and jump start +ve post, seems to work.
