That would certainly explain it. I didn't think I had anything that old! Would you happen to know the answer to my #2 question?
2.(Hot pink circle in diagram) the original diagram shows a ground going from the Buck Puck to the recharge port. Would I simply wire this directly to the battery (neg)?
Also, if I leave out those 3 LEDs seen on Boj-Vaati Mau's diagram (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...rt-Saber/page8), what would I connect (if anything) to that first contact on the PnP transistor?
