Thanks Sunrise Side for spending time with me trying to get the bill acceptor working. Between us both we verified that the wiring is correct as per the electrical drawing.

I don't know where I can go from here.

I have gone through every wire checking its location, sometimes twice, just to make sure that both the: wire to plug orientation, and the wiring is 100% correct. I must have put 16 hours just into this issue.

I am in the process or restoring the bill validator. It's a lot of work verifying all the wire locations, power, ground, etc. Not a enjoyable task.  :no:

Can you take a picture of each connector of your replacement harness? If your replacement harness works out, I'd be curious to know the pinout difference between the new and old harness.

I'm following the wiring schematics, it has taken me days to trace the wires, make sure they are working correctly, I have filled up my notebook.  :pull_hair:

After putting in at least 20+ hours on just the bill acceptor, spending $400.00 on parts, nothing works. I have checked every wire with a ohm meter, replaced the wiring harness, sifted through countless wiring diagrams, and I can't do anything else with it.

The only thing that I can determine is that the MPU  doesn't have any connection with the bill acceptor, it's set up for Kings or better with a wild joker..

The end.

Nope, it's wired 100% correct using the wiring diagram, the bill validator is working 100% before the old MPU died it was working, the replacement MPU doesn't recognize the bill validator.
