Picked up several system 6 williams games a couple weeks ago, the wiring in this one had rat damage. Got the wiring on this one mostly unratf**ked, all the damage the rat did has been repaired. Any cut wire was soldered back together and covered with heatshrink, any stripped section of wire replaced. Got 2 stray wires I cant find a place for, regardless of how hard I look.
the first is the red wire off the power supply,3P3 wire 8 (top wire +28vdc). It runs down in the main harness and dead ends, and I cant find anywhere it went.
The other is off the driver board, 2P9 #6, the brown/violet wire. system 6 identifies this as going to Soleniod 15, then identifies Sol 15 as a special, that depending on the game it could be used on either the playfield, drive lamps in the insert box, or a special relay in the backbox. I cant find anywhere that this one used to go either. Anyone know what this one was used for in a Scorpion, or if they were used at all and are just extras?
Thanks

If the wires just stopped, with clean cut ends, I would think they were not used in your particulr game. If there is no other wire in the harness further down from the end, again I would suspect they are not used. After you get it working, if something doesn't work, there's a good place to start looking. Good luck, I hate wire harness damage!!!! I once re-wired a harness that someone cut with a hacksaw, must've been a hundred wires!!!
 
after repairing about 25 in this game I feel for you.
Thats about what I was thinking, guess I just needed to hear someone else say it so Id know I wasnt nuts:rolleyes:

I should be finished with the playfield in the next day or so, then Ill verify the voltages coming from the power supply, and hook up the boards and see what happens
