My GL-1500 has the J&M Passenger Controls built into the seat. It is a small panel set into the pocket cover on the left side. Evidently there are a few loose wires because sometimes it works and other times it doesn't, and when it isn't, sometimes it will work if you put the right sideways pressure on the volume knob. I have done some research into a replacement, and it seems this type of control isn't made, supplied or supported anymore. J&M tells me it hasn't been available for "several years." The current replacement unit is an add-on that attaches to the grab handle and supposedly connects to the existing wiring harness somewhere under the seat. The J&M part number for the controller is PSCR-GL15.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has installed one of these and how that went. Are they correct when they say it attaches to the existing harness with no splicing or modifications? What happens when I disconnect the current control? I.e. are there any issues that arise because it is out of the circuit? How difficult is it to remove the seat?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
