How do I connect the throttle?
Hey there, I am a noob at this so here it goes...
This is the controller I have, all labeled.
And this is the throttle...
How do I wire this? What goes where? I really appreciate any help I can get!

If someone who knows about these things was with you, they could show you.
There are just too many wires to explain everything over the internet. If you start with those wires that only have one option, there are less wires remaining that you are unsure of. You could then ask questions about the few that are left.

Wiring the throttle switch involves connecting 48V to one of the controller wires. If you pick a ground wire by mistake, you may have an explosion when you short circuit the battery.,If you pick an innocent controller input wire by mistake, you may blow up the controller, My disclaimer is that you will proceed at your own risk. anything I write could be entirely wrong. I don't claim to be correct,
For the throttle, look at the connector they called "Turn The Line". They probably meant "Throttle Line," The throttle connector in the picture looks different, but you match the three colors. Did this throttle come with the controller? You should always buys these parts together as part of the same kit. Then the connectors match..
The controller will probably not turn on until you wire the connectors that are marked "Power Door Locks", If those three wires exist, you probably connect the "fine red" to the "Crude Red". Ignore the black wire. If the controller now works, and doesn't blow up something, you can use the key switch in the controller to turn the bike on/off. That would be the blue and yellow wires. You know how to do that, no?
The diagram is confusing. There is also the "SIgnal Theft" connector that appears redundant, Hopefully, you don't need to do something with that one to start the controller.

Am I the only one that saw the posting date, read the labels, and found it difficult to take this seriously.
Power door locks?
