Chapter 6: Running wiring harnesses under the playfield
(Click on pictures to enlarge)

Here is a close-up of the installed boards. This section will focus on the Expansion board, and installing the following wiring harnesses:

J13 - General Illumination power
J14 - Backglass General Illumination
J17 - Super Jets Lamps
J18 - Mothership Signals
J19 - Super Jets Flasher and Switches

We had an issue with sourcing wiring harnesses, so newer kits now have interface boards to help simplify the wiring, which makes for speedier installation.

Connect the green boards as shown, overlaying the green interface board on top of J13, J14, J17, J18 and J19.

In the second picture, remove the existing long connector, and plug it into the blue interface board, then overlay the blue interface board on the AFMr board long connector.

Finally, connect the green interface board and the blue interface board with the 2 foot silver wire marked "B".

Under the playfield, locate the large white board. Towards the lower-right corner, install the white interface board. To do this, you will need to remove the connectors for J14, J7, J9 and GI2 PL4.

Attach the white overlay board as shown, then reconnect the AFMr connectors to the white interface board.

Connect the green interface board (in the backbox) with the white interface board using the two 7 foot white wires. These are marked L and R for left and right.

Finally, connect the purple wire harness 5-pin connnector to the open 5-pin header on the white interface board. These wires connect to the Super Jets in the next section.

In the Super Jets section, you'll want to look for a small soldered connector, as shown in the first picture. The Super Jets GI connects here, you will need to remove the WHITE wire for each bumper GI LED.

Wires are relatively short, it may be helpful to use pliers to help strip a bit of insulation off the white wire, then use the supplied twist-caps to connect the white wire to the proper signal wire.
