No, the service writer at my local HD shop just read it to me off their computer after I had the "limp mode" problem.

Can you take a picture of the fix and location of the problem

#1:Get a tube of Dielectric grease from your local auto parts store.
#2:Unplug the connector.
#3:Take a Q-tip and smear some grease all around the male pins.
#4:Put some grease on your finger and force it into the female pins in the connector.
#5:Plug the connector back in until it snaps.
#6:On the opposite side of the manifold there is only one wire tie. Cut and remove it.
#7:Either let the harness hang loose or thread another wire tie through the hole and tighten it only enough to prevent the harness from contacting the cooling fins.

If the "limp mode" problem returns, you probably should replace the female pins in the connector with the factory upgraded ones.
Hope this helps.

Perfect documentation  :2vrolijk_21:

I checked my wire routing and they seem loose with minimal pull at connector, however I will follow the instruction to be on the safe side.

I have a 2010 FLHXSE. Since yours is a 2012, it may already have the latest upgrades. The dielectric grease part is always a good idea though (in my opinion).
