-The original wiring diagrams do not have Pin# identificaitons. So in this description we will identify pin numbers for the internal connector (mounted to the headlight housing) starting with the Orange wires and looking at the connector from the backside, where the wires are inserted. ​We will call these four Orange wires Pin#1-follwed ​by the two Blue wires as Pin#5-6, naming them from left to right. The row of wires below that will be numbered Pin#7-12. To be clear, the Pin#1 is Top Left.+The original wiring diagrams do not have Pin# identificaitons.

Just to be clear, the Pin#1 on the mating external connector ​is Top Right.

 In 1991, a Turn Signal Canceller Module (TSM) was introduced on the Sportster. This allowed pulses from the Speeodmeter to cancel the flashing turn signals (not wired thru this 12-pin connector). This TSM now took over the function of the simple automobile-type flasher that was used previously. The new TSM did not route the active TS power signals thru the Turn Signal Switches (as previously) but rather, it simply obtained a low-current pulse from the momentary TS handlebar switches to start or stop the flashing function within the TSM. When flashing was needed, the TSM sent ON/OFF power to the Turn Signal bulb in order to flash the Turn Signal. This new TSM also allowed the use of 4-way flashers. In 1991, a Turn Signal Canceller Module (TSM) was introduced on the Sportster.
