Quick Paperboy question for somebody who has one

I'm trying to fix the handlebar control harness assembly and there are 4
red wires coming from the center of the handlebars. 2 of these wires go
to a molex plug. The other 2 are hanging loose with no indication of
where they go. Can't find the "other end" of the wires on any of the
pins on the molex connector but don't want to screw anything up. I'm
guessing that they go to the same pin as the other 2 red wires.

Could somebody with a Paperboy please take a look and see if all the red
wires go to the same pin? If not, could you somehow describe which hole
they belong in?

This poor cabinet came from the Mesquite auction and it was really beat
bad. I have power restored to it finally after fixing numerous "bad
fixes" and replacing the Tip32 transistor on the AR3 board. I'd like to
check the game out before I disassemble it again to fix all of the other
stuff that needs to be done to it.

Thanks.

Well, I took a chance and discovered that they do indeed hook up to the
same point. Further investigation showed that the connector had been
previously repaired with an AMP pin in the "red" location instead of a
molex one so I figured it was worth risking to see if that was where
they went. Hooked all of them to the same point with no problems.
