Twist throttle sensor wires
I would be so grateful for anybody who can help me with this tech question. I was installing new handlebars and I had to cut the plug off the throttle twist sensor. I had all of the wires labeled but in the process of pulling the wires through the bars my labels came off and now I don't know how the wires reconnect to the plug. I tried toning and chasing the wires unsuccessfully.
On one side of the plug there is a red white and black wire and on the other side of the plug there's another red white and black wire.
I don't know which combination to connect them.
I can try doing the process of elimination but there's so many different combinations I'll have to try until I get it right.
Does anybody have a wire diagram or explanation of what each wire does for the twist sensor so it'll give me some insight on how to reconnect?

Can not help you but just a tip for your next cutting job, do not cut the wires at the same length but all different in length, then you don't have the problem you have now and you can also
solder them neatly without it becoming a thick lump in one place.

Can't help without the year and model.
The two pairs of red/black are there because there are two redundant twist sensors. For my '22 Road King (whose wiring should be the same for several years back), they are labeled Sensor Power 1(2) and Sensor Ground 1(2) on the schematics. The trick would be figuring out which one is which. I'm not sure if pairing 1-1 and 2-2 matters, but that's for someone with more knowledge than me to answer. The fact that they didn't use different color wires to distinguish them leads me to believe it doesn't matter.
