Pro armor tether installation?

[zalsson]

Easiest way to install? without soldering if possible?
Is there any connector so i can use flat blade or round connectors to plug in the tether?

easiest way is to return the pro armor one and buy the plug and play kit from cat.

You could use a scotch lock .... Not a fan myself, but it is an option.

Without soldering, you could use a razor and remove some insulation from the factory wires, make an opening, string your new wire through then twist around factory wire making a rather strong mechanical connection .

Soldering is your best bet though.

Good luck!

Just installed two Pro Armor Tethers tonight, one on a 14' and one on a 13'. It literally took 20 minutes on each sled and that was soldering the connections, re-taping and putting everything together. I tapped into the wires behind the plastic cover at the handle bars... super easy.
I installed the factory tether at the connections under the gas tank, total pain and took way longer on my 12'.
I found a pic that someone posted and it made it easy... I added pic from previous post.

yep just like this,except I ran the tether wires down closer to the plug in the engine bay,takes no time at all,mine works great on my 13 800,i mounted the tether on the left side of the handlebar,what took the longest was cutting out the rubber from the mountain bar to make room for the tether!

I have seen some say that you can run your tether from Pro Armor and drop the key for the sled.
Is that true?
Because I really want to drop the key and the TSS on my sled, and use the Pro Armor tether instead.
Because my key is always freezing on me and my TSS has been frozen a few times making me stuck in the parking lot, because I can`t get the RPM`s with the TSS frozen.
So if I can drop using the key and just stick to the Pro Armor tether cord, that would be great.

Just unplug the key switch. Works on my sled without it hooked up.. But I have a cat tether.. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I recognize that pic. Lol
I soldered this plug in between the harness and tether just in case the tether went bad, easy to unplug and get the sled running.

Which color wires did you tap into? I see white goes to purple/red and black goes to one of the blacks? Which black do you use I see two in the harness? thanks for the photo it helps a lot going to order my pro armor tether and get it coming for my 2013.

Violet/red and black/blue wires are the tether/kill switch/key circuit. short those two wires together in any location, sled dies.
