Connector Pinout Question

82 GS1100 GK. Anyone know where on the wiring diagram I can find this particular connector? As you can see it's pretty bad off. I want to rebuild it but I'm not sure what condition it will be in once I manage to get the two halves separated. It would be nice to have a diagram just in case.

I have a black and white diagram from the service manual, and a color diagram from the GS Archives. They're a little different. I'm just not sure which one it is.

I don't have a diagram, but, order the connector block from Vintageconnections.com.
Then, that thing looks really crispy, so you should be able to crush it with pliers. Just match the color codes on the wires and insert into the female and male halves.
After cleaning or replacing the actual connectors and any burnt wires.
Then, clean all of the electrical connections and switches and especially the grounds in the harness.

It's a bit hard to tell the colors from the photo, but it appears that the red wire ( main fuse to be ignition switch) and orange wire ( ignition switch to other fuses/circuits) are in the connector. If so, focus on the ignition switch.

BTDT. Mine would randomly blow the main fuse. Ohm testing led me to replace the entire red wire
 
I ended up doing something similar. I carefully cleaned the wires with the connector still in-tact. Then made a diagram so I knew which wires went to which pins. They aren't color-for-color and there are two loop-back wires on one side. Once I was confident I had them accurately mapped I pried it apart with a screwdriver and it came to pieces. Then using my diagram, I remade the connector with a new one. And what do you know, it works, an nothing caught fire!

I decided to go with a weatherproof connector instead of the original since this thing seems to get quite a bit of grime built up on it.

Not originally engineered for 45 years of use that's for sure. I hate the way some wires change colours too.

Yea, it's like they were out of the white-green wire that day, so instead they went with yellow-blue. Makes troubleshooting electrical issues "interesting" to say the least.
