Getaway: High Speed II, The
Williams, 1992Hi. Got a HS2 this past weekend and a previous owner at some point had installed a shaker motor in it. I am having trouble finding any information on how to wire it up since the only wire of the 4 coming out of the motor board that is still wired up is the black to a ground harness....the other wires are purple blue and red and not attached to anything. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction! Looks like a pinbits shaker motor.
I admittedly know nothing about this pinbits board, but that connector on the top right doesn't look right, as in it looks like your have it backwards currently. Red is USUALLY hot, so +20v and Drv should be Red, gnd should be Blue (or black or green), N/C should have No connection. I think that connector is reversed. The black to your ground harness is just a jumper to your outlet ground most likely.
Next, the purple and light blue are definitely the lower voltage/amperage connections, your data line. If they were power lines for the motor, they'd be thicker. So the blue and purple wires are probably a logic line for +5v that would go to a relay maybe... I dunno enough about this. Any other parts in there? Do you have a picture of the shaker motor? I don't have enough info here to help out with certainty. More pictures would help.
Quoted from thedefog:but that connector on the top right doesn't look right,
That's because its a 5 pin connector on a 4 pin header. 
I found the instructional on the pinbits website. Looks like whoever installed it followed them correctly for a williams machine (clipping 4th pin since only 3 are used on WPC)
The instructional says to wire to the 20v flasher on backglass panel. Here's the link:

I am hoping to find someone who has done this since I tried several times and still can't get it to work.
If it was disconnected when you bought it, there is a reason. Either the motor or something on the board is blown. It doesn't matter how you reconnect it most likely. The PIC IC is probably fine, since it is isolated with those opto isolators, but maybe that IRL540N driver on there is toast. It would be an easy fix as long as the PIC isn't fried. If it is, you'd have to get a hold of another with the code burnt on it.
Do you have a multimeter handy so that you can test out some voltages in places? You'll at least be able to tell if the voltage output to the motor is working and rule it out.

I wish it was more common to see notes on a machine when things are disconnected... Was this unplugged because it was cooking boards or because the person just didn't like it? I just went through this with the sub in my HS2. It was taken out of the series deliberately.... After hours of trying to figure out why, I rewired it back in and it seems to be working fine... So who knows.

That's 1/2 the fun.
