Electric Flap Actuator with MGL SP-10

The wiring diagram that comes with the electric flap actuator from Sonex is very clear. Just make sure that you attach output 1 from the SP-10 to the positive and output 2 to the negative side of the actuator. You can determine this easily with a power supply or battery - positive moves the actuator down.

Not so easy are the sensing connections from the actuator to the SP-10. The MGL diagrams are very good - but unfortunately, if you buy the pre-made harness from MGL - you do not know which color wire goes to which terminal. Since there are three wires in each bundle - you have 6 possible combinations. I tried them all - and, I have the answer for you.

Actuator ----------- SP-10 pre-made harness

Blue ---- White with Blue stripe
Yellow ---- White
White ---- White with Orange stripe

Should save you a couple of hours of trial and error.
