Default Turn Signal Wire & Popped Hoses Help

I bought a 2003 F4I pretty cheap from the previous owner who had it stolen and dumped while the guy was running from the cops. It needed new fairings, and the PO had taken off the (apparently ugly) stock front turn signals. New fairings came in from Extreme Fairings and I am in the process of putting it all back together. I found this plug that was cut, so I assume this is the turn signal wire. My new signals have two wires (positive and negative) but this plug has three? Where does the third wire go? Are there two positives and one ground?



Also, upon removing the fairing, I noticed that not one, but THREE hoses have popped out of their fitting. I can't see where they go. Any ideas?



I don't take my motorcycle safety class until June 8th so I have some time to get this fixed. I may just have it towed to the nearest bike place to have the hoses fixed. In my Jeep, I'm more prone to put things where I think they should go, but on two wheels it's a different story.

Thanks in advance.

What do the other ends of the hoses connect to? 2 of them may be your tank vent and filler drain.

The wires are: green = ground, orange = running light, orange/white = turn signal

There is a thread on how to hook 2 wire bulbs to 3 wire inputs somewhere on here. Most just leave the running wire (orange) disconnected and only use the turn wire and ground.

The hoses just go straight down and point at the ground. There is a little loop near the bottom of the engine case they go into.
