      I'll admit to not slowing down and double checking things today. I probably could have had it fixed had I been paying attention. However, at the beginning of this thread I felt I was being led this way and that and the assumption was made that I even know what the heck a TSCU was or where it was.

      Now that I'm on the right track I hope to post my success tomorrow and be able to speak intelligently to the issue should anyone else need help with it.

      I used to repair guitar electronics so it's not that I didn't get the diagrams or the idea behind them, it was that whole TSCU thing and my frustration got the best of me.

      Either way, thanks to everyone's help thus far

        I think I laid out just how to wire the current relay in order to get it working. I stopped trying when he stopped listening.

        Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

          Wow, we're gonna start this again? Anyway it wasn't a matter of your diagram that was giving me issue. I understood that. It was the damn TSCU. Acronyms are not always the easiest thing to figure out when you are new to a forum.

          That being said, I did have the B & E legs mixed up due to my oversight. So we'll give that a better go tomorrow.

          I'm pretty sure I thanked everyone for their help once I was able to put all the pieces together. Bwringer's post is mostly what caused my aha moment. But I'm sure nobody here has made mistakes or overlooked things before

          This site really is full of great information, the delivery sometimes could be a little softer, but I'll take it how I can get it!

          Thanks again to all involved and hoping to report success tomorrow. No hard feelings

                Success......Blinkers are a go! Soldered the wires together and shrink tubed them. Will find a good way to mount it tomorrow.

                    Ok, so I wired the 2 prong connection with no ground straight to the battery and it works like a charm, but I looked a little deeper into the wiring and there is a point where this guy soldered 4 different orange/green wires in a ****ty bundle into 3 going to I assume the fuses. Should I cut that **** out and make it a single wire from the flasher? It seems like there isn't enough power getting to the flasher. I'm tempted to wire straight to battery and get it over with.

                      Sorry for the bad language. Anyway, it seems like maybe there were some sort of other lights maybe wired in with the signals?

                        If you look at your schematic o/g is the signal circuit powers from a 10 fuse in the fusebox. It is for all signals and dash lights.

                          EDIT: found the break in the circuit. Can I cut that 4 to 3 wire soldered connection into 2 to 2 with just the brake light and turn signal without messing anything up? My dash is nonexistent, mind y'all.

                            No idea what you are asking.

                            This should answer all your questions as it is really the only relevant information you need.
