Title: Lost the wiring order for my lacrosse
Post by: on August 16, 2005, 02:38:37 pm
I have a Lacrosse LCV 136A-4. Basically it's the same as the 136-4, except it has only one dispenser. My problem is this. I've lost my notes as to how I wire up the vending mechanism. I've got 5 wires, red black, pink orange, and orange/white. The plug in below is has six spots, but only five where used.

Anyone that can help me out would be a great person!!!
Thanks guys

which connector are we dealing with here? door harness, cabinet harness, coinmech?

Its the connector inside the cooler which is mounted directly on top of the mechanism that allows the cans to fall. At the base of the can racks.

I was wondering if it'll hurt to trail and error it. I hope I don't fry something though.

DON"T! you will !!! some of the wires have 120 Volts on them & then you'll be rewiring the harness after it smokes...or worse. :O       ....be patient weed-hopper, reseach is a virtue.. :;):

wasn't there a wiring diagram on the inside of the door?

It's so old, now I can't make it out. But I was mistaken on the wires....its a red, white, pink ,orange, and white/orange. Where else can I research? I'm glad you told me about the frying of the harness...

My girlfriend accidently plugged it in last week, thinking it was the shopvac cord, and the machine sparked! She immediately unplugged it, do you think has done any harm to the harness since then?

Well, at tis point hopefully she didn't damage anything.  :O

you could try giving Colamachines.com a call/email, click on their link here & see if they offer a manual, or perhaps he has one he can provide the correct wiring pinout.

you could do a little trouble shooting yourself, if you own an Ohm meter, or a continuity checker ( you can get a cheapy one from an autosupply store like PEP-Boys.Murrays, Autozone, or take a trip down to the local radio shack & get one , you don't need anything fancy, just get a basic V.O.M.
(Volt-Ohm-Meter) one that will read up to 220volts, & has a low Ohms range (electrical resistance of wires, etc) or just a basic light-up continuity tester..., I shouldn't be that hard to figure it out. of couse a wiring diagram would be the easiest.
