AOTC Yoda will not ignite!

I just completed the wiring for my AOTC Yoda conversion: moment of truth, I flip the switch... nothing.

Attachment 9694

my volt meter shows continuity from all the wires except for the purple wire leading to the clash sensor.

This may sound like a silly question: but is there a positive and negative on the clash sensor that I may have wired backwards?

I'm pretty sure that I got the wiring right, but im second guessing that clash sensor. When taking the saber apart, I took care to avoid crushing the clash while drilling out the pins.

Any ideas would be appreciated...

Do you have fresh batteries in it?

Fixed it!

I went with Raynovac AAAs. I used brand new Kirklands in all my other sabers, but for some reason it wouldn't get Yoda to fire up. BATTERIES!!

I decided to remove the clash sensor, I'll get a new one someday, but for now, I needed to get Yoda off my bench.

Among other issues with ny cram-fu, it looks like the batteries and the clash were the problem. Thanks for the suggestion FJK. I appreciate it.
