 ===== Key Switch =====
 The Key Switch is fed from the main Circuit Breaker, later, the MaxiFuse. Typically, this feed wire is RED. The Key Switch has two positions (besides OFF), but their function changed in 1994.
@@ Line 30: / Line 29: @@
 The CANbus Key Switch has three positions - OFF, ACC & IGN - There are only two wires used for the three functions. When OFF, the two wires have no connection. When in ACC Mode, the two wires are connected by an 800 ohm resistor, which provides a HI signal to the BCM. When in IGN Mode, the two wires are connected by a 200 ohm resistor, which provides a LO signal to the BCM. In this way, the BCM can determine the switch mode and implement the appropriate control of the various circuits.
 ==== Testing the Key Switch ====
 Key Switches can fail and become intermittent. The internal contacts can be severely strained if you have a keyring with too many extra keys or other heavy items, or items that flap in the wind.

 ==== Current Draw with Key Switch Off ====
 Here is a test to see if the bike is drawing electrical power from the battery when the keyswitch is off. This can happen if the key switch has an internal short due to damage or heavy corrosion. A sustained power drain from the battery, if large enough over enough time, will damage your battery.

 ===== Brake Switch - Front & Rear =====
 The Front Brake Switch is installed between the brake lever & the master cylinder assembly. It is a normally closed switch, but the contacts are actually held open when the lever is not being pulled. When the lever is pulled to activate the front brake master cylinder, the brake switch is no longer pressed by the lever, the contacts now close and power is sent to the rear brake light. This switch is often damaged (causing the brake light to stay ON) by not paying close attention to the following caution from the manual regarding disassembly & assembly of the master cylinder or brake lever or right switch housing:

 From 1973-later, the 19" front wheel meant that the wheel driven unit for driving the 2:1 ratio speedometers all used nearly identical ratios for converting wheel rotation into cable rotation, approximately 1 wheel rotation = 2.625 cable rotations.
-Normally, for 1984-1994, the wheel driven unit will be a match to the speedometer - that is, a driven unit intended for 2:1 (67127-84A - which creates a 1:2.625 ratio of wheel-to-cable rotations) is used with a 2:1 speedometer (likewise, the drive unit and speedometer would be matched for 1:1 or 2240:60 on the BT). However, if you use a 21" wheel/tire on a model that original had a 19" wheel/tire and used a 2:1 ratio speedometer (as stock on all pre-95 XLs), then you need to use a wheel driven unit (FXLR - 67132-85A - that creates a 1:3 wheel-to-cable ratio) which was originally intended for a 2240:60 ratio speedometer.

 Beginning in 2004, the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) feeds its pulses to the ECM (not directly to the speedometer). The ECM interprets the pulses and sends a digital stream of data, using the Serial Data Bus, to the speedometer & the TSM/TSSM related to the operating speed. The speedometer takes the SDB data and converts it to the necessary impulses to operate the dial needle to show the current speed. The TSM/TSSM uses the data in evaluating when to cancel the turn signal function.

 ===== Tachometers =====
 Pre-2004 HD Tachs used a pulse signal input and were designed for use with dual-fire ignition systems. The non-SPORT models used the trigger signal for the ignition coil (typically, PINK wire) to also trigger the tach. The SPORT models, which have a single-fire ignition system, used a tach trigger signal generated by the ICM (separate from the coil triggers) that is intended to drive a tachometer that is dual-fire ignition compatible. The same OEM tachometer was used on the dual-fire 1200 models and the single-fire 1200S models.

 Rather than buying your own female connector and crimp tool, you might want to go to your local HD shop and ask them to create a short wire for you (about 6") and use their crimping tool to afix the proper female connector onto the end.
 Then, when you get home, release the Blue Locking Bar on connector 39B (at the Speedometer) and slide the short wire into the socket at location #3 and relock the bar in place. This will then give you a short pigtail onto which you can connect your Tachometer signal wire.\\

One side of the resistor(s) is connected on the turn signal power wire to the bulb (typically, Violet wire on Left circuit, Brown wire on the Right circuit) and the other side of each resistor is connected to ground.

Any time during the flashing sequence, if the same switch is pressed again, the flashing will stop.
 The 4-way flasher function is activated by momentarily pressing both the left and right turn signal buttons at the same time and cancelled in the same way.

 The above models use a Tail Lamp Converter Module (P/N 68278-07) to create Run/Turn/Brake functions using only the Rear Right & Left Turn Signal units. These models have no center Tail Light. The rear turn signal bulbs are dual-element bulbs (P/N 68168-89A - #1157). The Dim Element is used as the Running Tail Light while the Bright Element is used for both the Turn Signal & Stop Light Function.

 In 2014, the Turn Signal Module (TSM) function was integrated into the Body Control Module (BCM), which controls many of the power functions and is located between the battery & the ECM. This change, in association with implementing the CANbus communications system between the intelligent modules, means that all the functions previously handled by the TSM are incorporated into the BCM along with many other functions. There is also a variation of the BCM which adds security features (similar to the TSM/TSSM modules previously).
-In 2014, the handlebar switch housings were changed again (matching the FX-style models). The switch sets (both left & right) are now implemented with intelligent components. They no longer send their individual switch functions on separate wires, but instead communicate with the BCM/ECM using the CANbus to send the status of the individual switches. Left controls include Headlight Hi/Lo/Flash, Horn/Trip Button and the Left Turn Signal Button. Right controls include Start/Hazard, OFF/Run and Right Turn Signal.

Left controls include Headlight Hi/Lo/Flash, Horn/Trip Button and the Left Turn Signal Button. Right controls include Start/Hazard, OFF/Run and Right Turn Signal Button.
-The BCM receives a signal on the CANbus from the left or right handlebar switch when pressed (these are momentary action switches). This begins the turn signal flashing function. The function continues as long as the switch is held down. When the switch is released, the module, in communications with the Electronic Control Module (ECM), calculates the speed and amount of distance travelled. Once the predefined distance is travelled, the unit turns off the flashing function. It will also turn off the flashing function within 2 seconds after determining (using the BAS) that a turn has been completed. If the right turn signal switch is pressed while the left turn signal is flashing, the left will stop and the right side will begin a flashing sequence (same if right is flashing & left TS switch is pressed). Any time during the flashing sequence, if the same switch is pressed again, the flashing will stop.

Once activated, the ignition can be turned off and the hazard flashing will continue operating for two hours or until turned off. To turn off the flashing, the Ignition & RUN switch must be ON, then the Hazard Button is pressed again.

+- BROWN - Right TS Flash Out\\
+- VIOLET - Left TS Flash Out\\
+- WHITE/Green - Speedo Cancel In\\

+DISCONNECT THE CONNECTOR TO THE TS MODULE.
+Then test the signals on the harness connector.
+With a multimeter, BLACK PROBE on Pin1, you can use the RED PROBE to check for power on Pin2,\\
+check Pin 7 to see if it gets power from the Rt TS Switch (when pressed),\\
+check Pin 8 to see if it gets power from the Lt TS Switch (when pressed).\\
+With a jumper wire from Pin2 (if it has power)\\
+jumper it to Pin3 to see if both Right TS lights are ON,\\
+jumper it to Pin4 to see if both Left TS lights are ON.\\
+THOSE TESTS do not check the TS Module - they check everything connected to the TS Module\\
+to see whether they DO OR DO NOT WORK. If all that works, then the TS Module is suspect.\\
+Use the correct pinouts for other year TS Modules to do the same type testing.
