Help with wire colors for center Spy Hunter button (plus extra wire is weird)
unclet:
I opened my Spy Hunter steering wheel assembly yesterday night to trace which colored wires were used for which triggers and buttons so I would ultimately know how to wire this assembly up for Mame use.
I noted which colored wires were used for the "common" and "NO" connections for the triggers and thumb buttons and noted which colored wires were used for the potentiometer. I now had 4 "unknown" colored wires left to map. (NOTE: This was confusing since I only had the center button left, which I thought would only require 2 wires).
Anyway, I could not for the life of me figure out how to access the center button area to make this determination, so I am asking you people for help :>)
- What are the standard colored wires used for a Spy Hunter steering wheel assembly for the center button
- What could the two left over wires be for?

It's prob for the voltage and ground for the light - aren't you talking about the VAN button in the middle? That flashed when the van was near, so the extra wires are prob for the bulb/LED.

Download the manual from http://www.spies.com/arcade/manuals/SpyHunter.pdf
It will give you all your answers (I think) :)

Thanks for the manual. I will read it later. I was not aware that the center button lit up (Ie: could not remember such detail as a teenager), but that explains the extra two wires.
There look to be two security screws holding this center button in place but I can not remove them from the assembly since they are completely rounded out. Basically, all other screws are torx security screws (star shaped with a raised point in the middle of the star), but this button only has the pointed raised in the middle, not the 6 points star part. Maybe these two screws were stripped or something, but I have no way of getting them off? I hope the LED still works, since I can not get inside to change the bulb....

(carefully!) drill the screws out and replace them with new...
