Default TGS extra wires?

I'm replacing my TGS with the one minus the green connector for wires run inside the handlebars - six wires I pretty much can figure out where they go - though they are not color coded as the stock sensor. But what about the two pinned wires that come from the middle of the sensor - what are these for? On my stock sensor (FLHR) these wire are capped.

THANKS

Hope its allright to bump this back up to the top again - I'm trying to find an answer before I go snip snip with the extra wires.

Thanks

Okay, just a question or two for you:
a. Whats is a TGS?
b. What year and type bike you riding?
c. whos parts are you using and why?
That might help getting an answer.
or not...

TGS = Twist Grip Sensor - HD part #32310-08 used for internally wired bars (i.e Sreaming Eagle touring bikes with fat bars).

Thanks

The replacement part came with zero instructions - even call the dealer to see if they had printable instructions -ZERO

Pardon my ignorance, but would you be kind enough to tell me what is a TGS?

One more time - hoping for an answer as to what the two middle wires (surrounded by six) are for.

Thanks
