Quoted from pb456:I don't seem to have the right manuals or schematics, or maybe I don't know how to read them. But that is very helpful, thank you.
Which game?
Here is a part of the Paragon schematic.
You can see in the center the A3-J3 connector.
In the J3 column you see the pin number.
Left of the pin number you see the wire color code.
The color code can be read from the box in the lower left corner of this image.
Wire code 64 gives brown-green.
Bally_A3_2 (resized).jpgYes, I have all the older Bally / Stern games in Excel.
All the lamps and solenoids info is in the Tech Charts on my website http://www.inkochnito.nl
I also uploaded the same info to PinWiki.
https://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Night_Rider
There it is also sortable, but not all connectors are listed.
Just the lamps, switches and solenoids.
#pb456 wanted to know about A3-J3 and that one isn't in my Tech Chart.
Quoted from Quench:inkochnito, two things:
Your PinWiki info shows a strobe #5 column listed in the switch matrix - there's no such thing on Night Rider. That column should be removed.
Bally didn't introduce the concept of switch strobe #5 until 1981 on some games. It was done by using a continuous solenoid signal from the MPU J4 connector.
Your Night Rider strobe #5 mentions the signal comes from A4J2-7. I've never seen any MPU boards with a trace connected to pin 7 of J2. Curious where this info came from or was it a typo?
For some strange reason, Bally didn't stick to the same signal for strobe #5 - some examples:
A4J4-5 Centaur, Spectrum, Vector
A4J4-8 Medusa, Fathom
You are correct (as always) 
Wroung assumptions on my end.
I will make the changes.
Thank you for correcting me.
