Quoted from rai:Got the new IM VE. Have taken a shaker out of SM maybe from 5 years ago, but can not find the 5 pin connector to hook up to the shaker board (on the new IM VE) any ideas where it is? Or how it hooks up?
Well? Get it working? If not, Maybe they changed shaker motor hook up and design through the last 5 years.
Ill let everyone know...This shaker came out of SM. I just could not move over the 7 pin molex wire as it was in the game harnesses. Also there is a small black 2 pin molex that is labeled ground J3 that is hanging on the inside left. The shaker board we are installing has no pins on J3. So there are def several diff versions of shakers out there.
I called Stern about the J3 ground since my Star Trek had the wire, but the board has no pins. It is a feature on newer boards to combat a few complaints about the shaker causing noise or activating the flippers. It is not necessary unless you have one of those rare issues. I hooked mine up without connecting J3 and have had no problems in that regard.
Just wanted to thank you guys, for the replies.
Mike's on it, so hopefully we'll get it figured out.
I now have the harness that comes with all shaker motors. A friend had a spare. I am hoping to go over and put it in sunday morning. Ill update thread.
