Easiest is probably see if AC makes a 12V Acc. adapter (cig. lighter) for your sled, this should plug in directly somewhere on wire harness, and you should be able to get same likewise for GPS unit. I'd recommend a fuse somewhere to protect the GPS, just in case...

mgs. There will be free plug stuffed down by the servo motor/steering shaft along with a the other wires. A brown/yellow wire with a plug on the end of it if memory serves. This will be A/C power which will have to be converted to DC to power a GPS unit.

think the only dc on 03 to 06 is fuel pump but koso makes a ac dc converter for like 35 bucks or what I di to run A/F guage on sled was get a cheep chinese pit bike ac/dc converter same as koso from some china pit bike web page for like 18 bucks and used heated shiled plug for power.some gps will work with a/c call manufacture and ask.then ask what max voltage it will take and put a ohm meter on tour acc plug I think it is like 14.9 volts but check for your self

There are unused plugs by the servo as mentioned and another by the headlights (at least on my Firecat, which I assume the Sabrecat is the same). I made my own converter with parts from radio shack for less than $10. I forget the name of the diode I used, as well as a voltage regulator. Search on hardcoresledder.com for Firecat GPS wiring for directions.
