    Default Sanyo help

    Looking for where to connect the power leads. I'm thinking 2nd and 3rd right-side connectors but second guessing myself. Thank you!

    My guess is second and third from the left, or top when the pictured is clicked. I base this on--as far as I can see--that one pole from the lights runs to one contact, and the other pole of the lights runs to the other contact. Trace the wires emanating from the bottom of the bulb, trace the wires from the side of the bulb. To me they look to run to the contacts that I've indicated--the 2nd and 3rd from the left.


    You can always plug in a nine volt and see what happens.

    I do see one bulb pole wired to the right-most contact...not sure about that one.

    I prefer to rewire everything personally, with new sockets and bulbs. Then you know it's done right.

    should be the top two.. closest together

    the one bulb wire to the 3rd post is the back signal for low balls

    Never tested the theory...but, connect power to the low ball light (at the bulb socket terminals). With NO balls in top tray (so circuit is closed), check which terminals (at fuse block) have power.
    Kind of like reverse engineering!

    Good in theory, but wouldn't your parlor line also be live then?

    if you look closely you'll see the short white wire isn't connected to anything. i wonder what that's there for.
