I couldn't find the plug for that in any search. Why not replace it with a regular accessory socket?
On my old Honda Fourtrax 300 FW I wired in accessory sockets on both the front and on the rear for running accessories .. My Honda has Honda's version of an accessory socket wired in on the front , but like your Yamaha , it is not a normal accessory outlet and although the plug is available the price of it is ridiculous. It uses the same plug as Honda generators use for their 12v DC outlet for battery charging. Most likely the plug you want is no longer used by Yamaha and they've gone to normal accessory sockets when fitted to newer machines.
I'd clip those wires at the socket and replace the socket with a regular one that is readily available from any RV outlet.
You could leave that unit as is if you wish and plumb in new wires and sockets like I did for power both front and back
I think you just gave me a good idea Dave being that this connector is not available. I can cut it off and attach to it and make my own aux. connection. Why I did not think about that before...... no idea? It is only hot when the ignition is on. Thanks again for the replies.

I think #1 is the plug https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/atv/1999/kodiak-4wd-yfm400fwbl/electrical-2

Thank you very much for your time for the diagram. I didn't think about it but I may just do what was suggested and cut the dang cord and wire in my own auxiliary outlet. Sounds like a much less expensive option. Thanks again Dave!
I'm just not sure of the hook up there.

Thank you a.dmins. I am a mo.derator on another forum (nothing related to quads) and I know way too well how the s.pam thing goes on daily.
Here is the location of the plug and a close up pic. of it.

I found some more info on this plug on my 4 wheeler but I have not been approved by a moderator to participate yet.

Hello everyone. First post here. I have a really nice 1999 Kodiak 400 4x4 I picked up a few years ago as the second owner. I have put around 500 miles on it but just the other day I noticed a small, and somewhat hidden, auxiliary electrical plug. It is located, and firmly mounted on a factory mount, on the rear of the front rack but in front of the steering column assembly and plastic housing. I have searched the internet in depth and found that this is in fact an auxiliary plug. I took the cap off of it and it is a very odd design. It is a female plug with only one receptacle. I did find online that some of these older models came with this DC outlet and that the machine, when purchased new, would have come with an adaptor for it so it can obviously be used. Can someone please point me in the right direction where to find this adaptor, its part number, or basically any information that can be of assistance regarding this "new find" on my 4wheeler? Thank you all in advance.
Auxiliary plug on front rack, 1999 Yamaha Kodiak 400, adaptor needed.

Sorry @Quadmaniac. I called you by the wrong name in my answer to you. My apologies. Still tying to learn this system and it does not appear to have an edit function or I have not found it yet. Thanks.
