Hi; I just purchased a 2007 prs and I ran into a minor problem putting it
together. while doing some of the final wiring I was connecting the wires
for the proximity switches. I was having a hard time connecting the wires to the board so i unplugged the multi colored ribbon cable that is right in front
of the input output wire connector blocks. Now i'm not sure which way it plugs
back in. My controller box is the one that looks like a computer box.

Thanks for any help
Mike

I have 2 4g boxes one is newer. The newer box has the red gecko drivers and the older box has the black gecko drivers. If you look in the box the ribbon cable will have a blue wire on one side and a gray wire on the other on one of my boxes the blue wire is closest to the blue connections and on the main board and away from them on the usb board this is the one with the red gecko drivers. On the other box the blue wire is away from the blue connections on the main board and closer to the connections on the usb board. I have some drawings here. If you need to you can call me at
330 725 5843

thw wires have a twist in them to get to the right postion I guess it depends on the way they are mounted on the USB board.

You do know that the blue connector blocks pull off.

Thanks for the info on the cable, after I sent the message I looked around
on the SB web site and found a picture of the controller, I had it right.

Thanks for the help
