The difference between +/- in DC is a relative value between the two legs. So, if you put +5 and ground on one way, you will get +5, but if you switch the contacts, you get -5. --- End quote --- So do I hook the +5 up to +5 on the bulb and ground up to the -5 on the bulb? --- End quote --- as long as there rated for the voltage the'll only work connected one way...so if they don't light try switching the wires. |

I got it working. +5 to +5 and -5 to ground. Thanks guys. |

New question. Can I wire the coin door lights and the coin door microswitches to the same ground on the molex? Or do I have to send the ground for the switches all the way up to the encoder in my control panel? |

At least I think so, my brain is on stand by at the moment... |
