Default Wiring question: pink wire in headlight bucket w/ pictures

I actually have two questions after rewiring my bike.
1: My flashers don't work (bulbs - no power) but the indicator (idiot or dash) lights for both are on constantly. Any advice?
2. What does the pink wire from the main harness go to? I was wiring things up according to the diagram and didn't pay much attention to the side that plugs into the one I was working on. When tracing wires, I saw that a pink wire from the main harness get plugged into a connector but there's nothing on the other side of the connector. Is this a misprint? Am I missing something?


Right side connector. Pink is PK on this diagram.

Tracing it back, the pink wire goes to the coil. I was just wondering if I'm missing something. Electrical stuff isn't in my wheelhouse.


Pink, PK is the black wire


Thanks.

Pretty sure Pink wire is the trigger wire from the ignition module to the coil lower terminal. The top normally white wire to the coil is 12v power...

Turn Signal module could be bad.. You will need a factory service manual to diagnose..

If they worked before you touched it then it's something you screwed up.
Go back and check everything, the service manuals are pretty accurate.
