Reversing ERR Switch Commander action

Green is Thru, Red is out, Yellow is the controller light signal...+5 for thru and -5 for out. Black is Com.

Yes, those are the colors of the cable going to the Fastrack Controller, but I am asking about the cable that connects the Switch Commander to the control board within the switch proper. Colors in that cable are Yellow, Black, Brown and Red.

Now that I look at it the instructions show Orange, Gray, Black and Red, which is not how my units are built! 

Thanks again!

But can't you translate the colors by position? Seems like I remember this issue in a thread but not the results.

I am not concerned with the position reporting, but the position control. Of course I can try to reverse engineer the boards and watch with an oscilloscope as I press buttons on the Cab-1L, but I am getting OFL (Old, Fat and Lazy.) I may call ERR Monday if I don't get it figured out over the weekend.

What I meant was no matter the colors, just look at where the wires are in the connector. I just looked at a (stock) switch TMCC controller and the OUT command is the left most wire on the connector (which is yellow in the picture). The THRU command is the next wire (which is blue in the picture).

Is that what you want to swap so that when you push thru on the CAB2, the switch goes to out, and when you push out, it goes to thru?

Yes - It never occurred to me to check if the connectors on the receiver and control board were labelled. I will take a look.

Thanks again for all your help.

I didn't see if they were labeled, I just figured the two wires by the two transistors (output drivers) were the thru and out command. So I reversed them to test and they in fact reversed the function. Then I put one back at a time to determine which was what.

I can do that. The ERR board looks a little different but same principle of course applies. 

Yes I see that it's different...

On the switch board itself, your picture, it's the two middle wire positions on the 6 pin connector. Just hold a wire with your fingers and pull slightly when you lift the little plastic tab on the plug. They slide right out. Then push them in appropriately oriented and they will stay. I press the little plastic tabs down to make sure.
