Here's the pictures of my backbox GI lighting. There's two sets of wires for the lighting - Wh/Purple and purple, and Wh/Green and green. These pairs go to a "Z" connector between the power board and the lights. My problem was with the IDT connectors had bad wire to pin contact. When I wiggled one of the wires for the pair that fed the backlights that were not illuminated, I could get the lights to illuminate. Since I wasn't for sure which side of the Z connector had the issue, I replaced both of the connectors feeding the Z connector.
When I said to clip the lead, I was referring to clipping the alligator clip to the wire. (I have alligator clips for my meter.) I just worked my way from the backboard lights to the connector. When I had power on one side of the Z connector but not on the other, I knew that's where the problem was.
If this isn't clear, PM me and we can talk.
By any chance can someone send me pictures of the wiring to the death star switches under the death star? I want to know for sure which color wires go to which connection on the switches and the orientation of the diodes on the switches. My switch assembly only has two switches, no diodes, and I can't find which wires go to which side of the switches.
