So I have two Seimitsu LS-32s hooked up to an IPAC2, but I can only register weird directions on them. Here (

According to the wiring diagram I saw, I should have the right colors in the right slots on the IPAC, but I have no clue why I am not getting anything besides weird diagonals only. Based off a recommendation from another forum, I tried disconnecting the wires, hooking the ground to a multimeter and testing continuity. Here are my results:
Using the orange as ground (according to the wiring diagram), here’s what I found:
With yellow (should be registering left according to the way I oriented the stick), I only got continuity by pressing the up-right diagonal.
With black (should be registering up), I got continuity on up-right, right, and down-right
With green (should have been registering down), I only got continuity on down-right
With red (should have been registering right), I got no continuity at all.
I tried this with the right stick with its respective wiring harness, and got the exact same results there too, so i don't think its the one stick or the one harness. I also hooked some pushbuttons up to the IPAC direction slots to make sure those were working right, and they were. Any ideas? I swear I hooked these sticks up a while ago to a test control panel and they worked, but that was probably a year, year and a half ago (this project has been in the works for a while now...)
