wire what wire?

[Ron Bissett]

Slide still not sliding do to controller not wired correctly , was sent a new replacement without any instructions and tape I used on wires ate up the ink on the ID tags can not read . Has any one a American star fiver with a intel controller and could look at the wires and let me know what you have ,the new controller is a mod 300 and it replaces a smaller controller with less posts I have two green /yellow tracer for motor 1 and 2 a white ground ,a purple for the switch , red with yellow tracer , guess 12v power and looks like Orange with yellow tracer . to 12v control ,but not sure as with this set up fuse blows soon as fuse is put in . Have replaced gears on mechanical side ,Motor will run and move slide if hooked to battery direct . No one seems to know how to hook up the box . Fuse did not blow if box is disconnected I will try to test wires one at a time for voltage etc. Any one with a controller hooked up that could let me know how their set up is could be the way to find out how to rig this one . Thanks for any help have spent over two hundred and fifty and still no go. Ron Bissett in Metro Louisville KY

O. K. I just checked my 96 American Star. If you'd like I can take a photo, but I thought this would be quicker and you probably wouldn't be able to see the wire colors anyway. So here goes:

Turn the box 90° Clockwise for this diagram.



Wire Color_______Label on box

Redw/yel________Motor 1

Green w/yel______+12V CTRL

White___________MPX GND

Purple___________MPX SW

Pink_____________IGNITION

Both my slider controllers are the same. Hope this helps!

Thanks Mike for your help. My wires have different colors but ,I think for motor 1and 2 both green with yellow tracer. white ground, purple switch, red yellow tracer ? 12v power not sure and red or Orange with yellow tracer 12 v control? could be that I am grounding one or the other of the wires ,as if box is all hooked up fuse blows soon as I put it in . with out box hooked up fuse will not blow ,think I will try one line at a time and see what blows the fuse. Also will check for 12v hot wire. Some one may have a box and wire like mine . Checked with dealer to day said the 300 box is the replacement for the old stile box like I had will keep looking . Again thanks for all your help Mike Ron Bissett in Metro Louisville KY entry level for almost fifty years.

still looking to see how to hook up box

Tried a meeter and found with box not hooked up and fuse in place the green and yellow wires are hot 13. 2 v dc all others no voltage. Hate to burn out the new box as it cost 148 $with tax and hope its still good after blowing fuse after fuse. Still hoping some one has one like mine ,and will post. will try and see if box manufacturer has a web sight for customers. Thanks for any help Ron Bissett in Metro Louisville kY
