I have a Wei-Ya (brand new) I just transferred from one frame to another. When I pulled the yoke connector off I suddenly realized after the fact that the jackasses at 8-liners had broken up the connector in to 4 individual pieces. Two have a red line drawn on them two don't. I ASSUME that means those are the two sets H and V... the problem is, I don't know which is H and which is V. I have a RED and BLUE and a GREEN and YELLOW. The GREEN and YELLOW have the line, the RED and BLUE don't. How do I determine which pair is H and which pair is V?
 
Assuming that the ones marked are one set and the others are another set Why don't plug the up and try them? If the screen is wrong then just swap them and try again.

You don't want to swap vertical for horizontal... that's a no - no. No worries though, I figured out that RED/BLUE are horizontal and YELLOW/GREEN are vertical. The monitor is now sitting in my PP/PPII cab looking great.
 
get your multimeter out and set on OHM's. pick two wires and go to it. one set of wires will measure lower than the other. thats the horizontal circuit. its lower because there is a parallel circuit in the horizontal side. parallel circuits will measure lower because theres less resistance = lower measurement.
if you get no measurement then you dont have the two right wires.

i see you have problem solved. i dont know why i couldnt see this before, but i see it now.

Yeah, but your answer tells everyone how to figure it out from scratch next time, so you get the thumbs up. :)

I used this method several times, as the wires are allways a different color it seems.

Replaced 4 so far, three 19's and a 25"... The 25 took alot of tweaking... but came out great too.

You can also tell where the wires are attached to the yoke...
