Ok, I'm trying to wire a Lux up to my Luke ROTJ. So far, I can't find a picture tutorial on which wires go where.

Right now, I have the following wires connected to the negative side of the LED:

red, orange, yellow, brown, blue, and green

The remaining purple wire is connected to the + terminal. Problem is, the LED doesn't light up normally, it just flashes on/off like a strobe light along with the clash sound (? I think) being played repeatedly. I tried to copy the Vader tutorial, but Luke ROTJ doesn't have a distinct shock sensor sitting on its own. I think the shock sensor is glued to the blade holder assembly, with a grand total of three wires coming from it: red, yellow, and orange.

Anybody know what I'm wiring wrong here? (Tim, Ultra...??) Any help would be much appreciated.

It sounds like you have some wires crossed you need to take a multimeter and test each wire to find the negative and positive wires
