So I got a dead pole position that I am working on now. The wiring harness that is in there currently is a real mess. lots of things hacked in, lots of tape. Missing parts. But thankfully I have an entire cab's worth of parts in a box including a brand new harness!. The problem is, I dont know where stuff goes! There is an extra cap that is wired into the harness but I don't see where it goes. Lots of differences between what is in the cab and what the new harness has. Any help would be fantastic.

Might hold out for the Multi Pole Position PCB that John's friend is working on, no idea on the timeline though.  I have a PP2 that is waiting on this.  My PP2 works, just if I sneeze around it, or look at it wrong, something goes wrong with it.   Fun game though!

Ian I have an intact harness here unmodified - Not that I'm letting it go, I'm also waiting on the multi, but I can get you any pics you need of any particular area of the harness so you can get this sorted, just let me know and I'll upload a video - whatever....



We can do better than this....

Well I did the power mod with absolutely no change. Figured I would start reseating chips. I am in big trouble! A lot of chips have broken legs and I am starting to wonder if I am going to have a lot of broken traces. My journey is just beginning.
