Rear Light Bar on Ultra Limited

Rear Light Bar on Ultra Limited
Recently a bud didn't stop in time and tapped my light bar on the back of the bike. Surprisingly, the only damage was to the light bar which broke in half. I got a new light bar and now I'm putting it on but I've got a question on how to do it. Removing the light bar from the rear fender is simple and removing the turn signals from the end of the bar is also simple ...... to a degree. My problem is how to disconnect the wiring that goes to the turn signals. The ground wire is simple but the power wire is through a sleeve and I can't see where it attaches. Do I just grab it as far down as possible with a pair of needle nose and pull or is there some secret to disconnecting the wires?
TIA ..........

Behind the tail light lens is where they disconect. If ya have not already bought a new bar you might consider one off a 2012 Road King Standard. It looks & mounts exactly the same only its 3 inches narrower. I changed mine out for one, I think it looks alot better. Still has that wide mean look, not pretty like the Street Glide look, but its not gauty like the original ultra TS bar. JMO

Yes. I replaced mine and that's how it was.

There's a picture of the turn signal connections behind the tail light in this link:

You'll need a pick tool or similar device to press the tab to release each turn signal connector from the circuit board.
Suggestion: buy the HD Service Manual for your bike.

yes!!! MOCO engineers... but after swapping my turn signal bar for a SG one, that's really easy to do it and not a bad idea

Okay, I found the disconnect behind the tail light. Simple, to say the least. Now, I have the very curious wife ..... I won't name names BUT ......... anyway, she decided to play with one of the turn signals while I was doing some other things and she took off the lens to replace the orange with smoke. While she was doing that she took out the bulb, spring, isolation ring and then managed to push the entire wire w/ground up through the opening. Now I can't manage to get it all back in the correct way so that the signal will work. I have it where it works if I hold pressure on the wire toward the bulb but something isn't putting enough pressure to keep the bulb tip against the hot connection. SIGH ......... any one know where I can get an exploded view of that light assembly? She meant well ................... and she loves to ride.
