Tools and Materials needed:
Step 1: Remove one of the power cords
Step 2: Cut wire to length.
Step 3: Strip ends of wires
Step 4: Crimp on the disconnects
Step 5: Attach the jumpers
Step 6: Admire your handiwork
You'll need 4 F Disconnects per controller you're going to modify. These will fit 16-14 AWG wire.
You'll need about 6" of black AND white 14 AWG STRANDED wire per controller you're going to modify.
You'll need wire cutters/strippers/crimpers. This does all three jobs.
Remove the power cord attached to the left side of the board.
Cut one piece each of black and white 14 AWG stranded wire to about 6".
Strip about 1/4" of the insulation off each end of the 6" pieces of wire.
Using your crimpers, attach a disconnect onto each end of the black and white 6" wires.
A. If you look at where the white wires connect to the board, you'll notice that there is a "left" side and a "right" side. Plug the white wire into one of the spades on the LEFT side and one on the RIGHT. It's best to keep it neat, so I moved a few of the channel lines so I could run the jumper from the far sides of the fields.
B. Now, look on the circuit board towards the bottom right and you'll see a spade labeled "Hot Jump". Attach one end of the black jumper here and the other end to the spade to which the power cord was attached. (It's labeled "Hot Input".)
*** DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY CONNECT THE BLACK JUMPER TO THE NEUTRAL (WHITE) FIELD OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!!! ***
It's OK to close the lid now.
Believe it or not, that's all there is to it. Now it's time to relax.
Next year you'll be much happier when you don't have to go looking for a bunch of triple taps to plug in your controllers.
