Default Pulling blinker wire thru bars on 2014 Slim

It appears both blinker wires meet at single connector.

So not certain what is the common way to pull wire out of old bars then back into nee bars.

1. Unpin wires from connector?
Or
2. Disconnect wire from inside blinker housing?

Thanks!

Are you re-routing your signals to a different location?

Take the connector off, do what you do, then put the connector back on...

I can see how the connector unsnaps but never pushed pins out before. Not certain how to do it really

On the front side of the plug there should be a tiny hole or slot above the pin for the wire you want to remove. Insert the end of a straightened paperclip into the hole until it clicks. Push the wire in from the back side another 1/8th of an inch inward while pushing on the paperclip. Then pull the wire out. It will take your a couple times, but once you do it and get the concept, it becomes easy. I had to do this to run the control wires to install my apes.

Wiring for plug as follows;
1) black - right ground
2) violet - right signal
3) blue - right running
4) blue - left running
5) violet with brown stripe - left signal
6) black - left ground

Good luck!

I am not near the bike at the moment but i will look for holes on the other side of the connector as soon as i can.

In my pic the connector is pulled away from the tank all the way up to just below the bar. It is s way duff plug then in your pic. We will see🤗

I was taking a closer look at the Todd 10" 1.5" Mini Apes and i noticed there was a dent. So that really sucked, but then i realized its a releaf for the master cylender. Woo.

Yeah, the wires in my pic are for the controls. I posted it to show the wires pulled from the plugs for you. Here is my turn signal plug (that is identical to yours) where it plugs in under the tank on my Deluxe...

Sweet. I do not see and hole on either sude of the plug. But on the end that plugs in there is adjacent holes.

If i insert a paper clip in thos holes the pins wil be released. Just checking 🤗
