: goes to which pin. I really do not know anything
: about this instrument, nor do I want to read a book
: on how it works. I just want to know how I go about
: using it for the task I mentioned above. Is there a

: the correct wire to pin. Any suggestions or how-to?
: Thanks
All you really need to determine which pins go to whcih wires is a continuity tester. You can either buy one at a place like Radio-Shack or just use a battery and a light bulb to determine when you when you have the right pin/wire combination.
