See Figure 1. All ignition modules, for the above model applications, contain seven color-coded wire leads. Original equipment ignition modules, on 1983 - 1990 model year motorcycles have these seven wire leads grouped into four separate wiring harness branches of different lengths, with each wire terminating in either a pin type, a socket type, a ring type, or a spade type terminal. Original equipment ignition modules, on 1991 and later model year motorcycles, have these seven wire leads grouped into a single six-inch long "pigtail" wiring harness, which terminates in a seven socket connector. The ignition module in this package is of the new style (1991 and later).
When replacing the ignition module on 1991 and later model year vehicles (and on 1983 - 1990 model year vehicles in which a new style ignition module has been previously installed), the seven-socket connector of the new ignition module will simply plug into the seven-pin connector of the motorcycle's existing wiring harness.
NOTE
Faulty ignition module operation may result from wiring harness problems, in which case the installation of this new module (which connects to the existing wiring harness seven-socket connector) may not correct the ignition system malfunction. You will need to repair or replace the existing wiring harness if the harness is determined to be faulty.
When replacing the original equipment ignition module on 1983 - 1990 model year vehicles, however, a new adapter wiring harness must also be installed to allow plug-in connection with the new ignition module. See your Harley- Davidson dealer regarding availability of Ignition Module Adapter Wiring Harness Kit (Part Number 32408-90).
