  • dr who connector j 118

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 5 09:00:07 2022
    j 118 is where I get power for my mowing dalek head. the original factory connector has a black and a gray wire. the add on connector has a black and a red wire. the red wire has pulled out of the connector. would it go to the same pin as the gray wire?
    just dont want to connect it to the wrong pin and screw anything up.
    thanks

    The manual, page 3-21, shows only two connections on J118
    J118-2 - Grey-yellow, 12V
    J118-3 - Black, Ground

    I don't find any details on the connector for the Dalek Assembly.

    Generally, given a pair of wires, black and red, black would be ground
    and red power, but there is no guarantee of this.

    If both wires were connected at J118 and the black is still connected to
    J118-3 the only place the red wire could go is to J118-2, the
    grey-yellow wire.

    Given all that, I'm confident the answer to your question is YES.

    Red wire to gray wire.

    You can't screw anything up. It's a DC motor. If wires are wrong it goes in the opposite direction. either way it will work fine.
