Black box suicide

[Mr. Wog]

The box that attaches to outside of the battery box (1979 GS1000E) committed suicide and fried itself. I believe it to be a controller for the blinkers....
My question is if I take the box out leaving the 2 plugs that go to the wiring harness and I figure out which wires go to the blinkers can't I just tie them together and have working blinkers?Eliminate the self canceling part of it since the box is caput.
Has anyone done this and or know what wires to use?
I can wrench with the best of them but I stink at electrical work.
Be well

The box is burnt, Cut the plug off and connect the Green w/ green-black and the red-black to black and plug it back into the harness. Also need a different handle bar control With an off detent and to hook up a flasher in series with the orange wire from the TS switch..

Bear with me my chemo radiated brain gets confused easily.
There is 2 plugs coming off the fried box so I'm doing this with both plugs?
And if it's fried I'm still using it?
What is an off detent?
Are you saying I can not use the stock switch on the bars?
Do I do anything with the stock flasher?
Dazed and confused

I actually did somewhat the same thing with mine.
I grabbed a left hand control from an 82 GS850 and spliced the connection block from my 79 GS850 into it so I could connect to the harness.

There is a wiring diagram on Bikecliff's website that someone put together that shows wiring the system without an auto-cancel unit.

I had to really put some thought into the job, but I used existing wires so I did not have to cut the harness apart and I left it so I could re-wire in the cancelling unit if I decided to buy one.
