1990 fxrs-sp wiring nightmre! HELP PLEASE!
So I decided to put some new bars on my bike and bought some that are internally wired, What a p.i.t.a. Well I finally get that bars all together and ready to reassemble, but apparently I didn't label the connector I took all the pins out of correctly because I'm getting my front turn signals flashing on and off by themselves, brake lights don't work, tach doesn't work neither do the lights on it and the horn doesnt work. I'm looking at a wiring diagram for it... I think. No owners manual yet so I'm looking at one online. Anyone have pictures of all the connectors in the headlight housing so I can see what pins go where?

each pin does something special - it is a 12 volt supply in or it is a driver for Horn - lights - starter - ignition
from memory as i am not in the shop
brown and violet is right and left blinkers - orange is 12 volts to buttons
brake light is red switch to tail light orange is 12 volts to the brake switch
oil light is orange 12 volts and green to the oil pressure switch as the ground
ignition gray is 12 volts in to the switches, white is to the coil and module - black is to the starter relay < 12 volt supply
blue / yellow / white is headlights hi and low beams - some have a black for the ground
horn is orange 12 volts to the button - they use different ones for the horn - power the wires when it blows thats it
best i can do with out looking at the correct diagram

Usually each colour goes to one of the same colour...unless you extended your wires and didn't use the right colours in which case John seems onto it but with a meter and some patience you can figure it out.

I did get the email but it says no content when I download it on my phone. I'm going to try it on the computer when I get home.
Texas I am connecting color for color but it's weird because some of the wires are jumped off others and the smaller orange wire harness is really throwing me off.

I can sympathize because every wire going to my ignition switch is red.
Doesn't help much figuring out which is which.
Good luck.
