Default Broken wires in the RHCM (FXBB)

Hi guys!

I have a small detail with my RHCM. (2018 FXBB)
While adjusting the handlebar position, the cables come out of the small board behind the buttons.

I open the buttons box and remove the black socket with the break sensor

Now I have the wires out of the socket, and I can’t find the diagram of the socket.

A new cable (71500462) here in Portugal is around 500 US$ Out of question buy a new one here…

Can anyone get me the position of the wires in the black socket?

Check pics for better understand

Thanks!

Pedro

Hi B3N5253!
Thanks for the reply!
That is the wire just to the block.
The problem is the detail inside the RHCM.
Even in the factory manual, there is no information for this pinout.

Thanks 24v!

unfortunately does not...

The problem is in the first pic I posted, inside the board behind the buttons.
There are no pinout for that connection in any manual.

I understand the problem, and if you look closely you can see where the wires go into the black connector. You might be able to work it out from that pic if you look carefully.

You are right 24v!
With the iPhone I didn't realize the inside.
Now in the PC it's almost clear.
I have 3 of 5 wires located!
Thanks
