Thanks OSS. I do have a continuity tester. So, if I understand you correctly, if I've wired it correctly, I should get conductivity when I touch the wire going to and from the motor, to and from the foot controller and to and from the light. Is that correct?
Basically, if I follow the wires that are there and assign the 1st one as positive I should be okay, correct? I just need to be careful which # on the 3-pt plug is to be + and which is to be -. But if I assign the 1st one to be negative, that's okay, too? ... as long as I keep track of the +'s and -'s to assign to the other points?
