I found a 2001 FLSTC at a local Junkyard, with most of the things missing except the chassis and the Engine.
I am not in the USA, or anywhere near a Harley dealership worth mentioning. We do not have people who know much about repairs & maintenance of a Harley. That said, I still chose to take on the challenge, and imported most of the stuff from the USA. I have now arrived at the wiring, and found there is a "TSSM" fitted. as soon as the ignition is switched on, the Turn Signals start flashing, I am scared to try and bypass the TSSM, for fear of damaging the ECM.
Dont have a Fob. The ignition and the speedometer are used replacements, There is no light on the speedo. Trying to keep this short!
Can anyone help?

Google "replacing harley davidson tssm with tsm". There's a ton of info (not all accurate), but I believe it requires a dealer to perform the marriage to the ecm. Note; you are working with a 20 yr. old system, many HD dealerships don't work on 20 yr. old tech.

The TSSM needs to be installed in it's correct location in the bracket behind the battery box or the BAS will trigger the security feature. Verify the TSSM P/N is 68923-00*.

the flashing lights indicate no fob present. there is a proceedure to get the pin number but would have to look it up. the pin number will allow you to start the bike without the fob. first get a service manual, harley not clymer etc., for your model and year. it will be indespensable in your moving forward. welcome aboard from s.e. kansas. stick around. much harley info available on this site. you have already heard from it's most valuable and knowledgeable member, schmidty. glad to have you with us.

The '01 FLSTC came with the button FOB, doesn't need to be by the bike unless setting or disabling the security.
I 2nd the H-D factory manuals. In the OP's case the electrical diagnostics manual would be most useful.

I found this link for the OP...

You won't be able to retrieve the PIN unless the alarm is disarmed, which it doesn't appear to be.

You cannot get the pin unless you have the FOB near the bike.

Thanks for the help. The P/N no is 68920-07

This is what she looked like when I brought her home in November.

I have done a lot of work on it in the past 6 months, spent a lot of money as well.
With the help from you guys I am sure I will have her up and running soon.

Thanks for your reply. Just saw the Youtube Video, that shows how to get the Pin Number,
My problem is that the Speedometer has not kicked in, its a used speedo that I got from the USA. I am sure that the wiring connections are correct, but I have assumed that because of the Alarm from the TSSM the power to the speedo is blocked.
I may be absolutely wrong,

Another hurdle you face is changing a speedometer requires use of a H.D. digital tech to synchronize the different speedo to the ECM. Another protection measure so speedometer readings can't be easily changed. I feel your frustration, but you can overcome these "tests".

 

[SCHMIDTY]

That P/N 68920-07 TSSM doesn't match what's supposed to be in your model FLSTC. Your bike shipped new with either 68921-01 TSM or 68925-00D TSSM.
Check the P/N on your ICM, should be 32568-00C.

 

[chasarms]

You may not want to consider this, but I believe the fastest, easiest and most cost effective way to get the bike running would be to strip all of the EFI/ECM/TSSM crap off of it, convert to a carb and wire the ignition from scratch. Otherwise, I think your frustration may get the best of you. In any case, I wish you the very best of luck with the project.

Now there's a thought!!!
The bike is a Carb model. this may be the only way out since there isnt a Harley dealership in my country!
No one has the equipment to sync the speedo with the ECM.

HD Digital tech here is a Fairytale. Dosent exist.
Although there are a couple of hundred Harleys just in this city, but there isnt a reliable, (let alone qualified) Tech within a thousand miles.

I thank you all for your input and encouragements.
Much appreciated.

I will re check the number on the TSSM when I get home, and get back to you. the Pin on the ICM (ECM) is 32568-00A

OK the ICM and TSSM numbers are correct for your model bike. Either one or both could still be causing problems. Not having access to a dealership is a problem.
One solution would be to replace the ICM and TSM / TSSM and marry the pair to your bike. Easier to do on a carbed bike, the procedure is in a sticky here in the electrical section. The parts will need to be new and you could use just a TSM rather than the security module.

 

[SCHMIDTY]

Also I'm assuming your bike is a HDI model, that's what I've been checking part numbers on.

Dear All
Thanks for all your advice and direction.
Its the weekend and I am about to put the recommendations to the test.
Wish me luck.🤞
