Ok, so I've included as many pictures as possible here to make what I'm trying to do as clear as possible. Again, please note, I'm new to this and I'm just learning. To recap, I need to add wires to my JAMMA harness in order to wire a start button and third action button for all four players on my Sunset Riders cabinet. I received the JAMMA wires and connectors (See first picture) in the mail the other day (Thank R3LL1K!) and attached them to the corresponding outlets in my JAMMA harness, for right now I attached the wires to the player one ground and 1P start outlets (Please see picture 2). For the moment, I just wanted to try and see if I could get the button working just based on this, before I drill holes and draw longer wires to the control panel. So I stripped the end of the wires that are now coming out of my JAMMA harness, attached the connectors for the cherry switches, and connected them to the cherry switch (see picture 3), try out my button, and nothing.
So, what am I doing wrong? Do the connectors that I am using to attach the wire to the cherry switch (see picture 4) require anything in between the stripped wire and the cherry switch terminal? Should I be getting an electrical current of any sort from the terminal on the JAMMA harness where the wire is coming out from, because I'm not. I tried to see if I could disassemble one of the connectors hooked to the cherry switch terminal on the buttons that are already on the cabinet, but they have this plastic covering over them (see picture 5) and absolutely will not come apart.
My apologies if I haven't made this clear, I'm really trying, but if there's anything else I haven't made clear, or would be better illustrated with pictures, please let me know
