Good day Tankers , Well I have just replaced the air soft unit in my Mato, KT and the motor for the air soft unit have two wires coming off of it, one blue (pos ?) and on white (neg ?).
The white wire goes to the air soft on off switch in the turret and the blue wire goes where??. It got pulled off during surgery and I have no idea where it came from?
If you can tell me then thanks ,if not no big deal as it will be a IR tanks some day but for now I would like it to shoot somthing...
Thanks

I hope this will help Im going by a schematic I drew up quit some time,from my sturmtiger also mato. what I have is from the *8 pin connector is and in this order are Red and Black supply the light Blue and Yellow go to a motor on the gun. Brown and Green are also attached to the other motor on the gun. White and Orange go to the traverse motor. good luck

The airsoft blue wire is negative, and the airsoft shares a common positive with the elevation motor So the brown wire is positive and runs to the airsoft motor and then to the elevation motor. The blue wire goes to the airsoft, and the yellow wire to the elevation motor.

Thanks YHR I was thinking that because there is no where else for it to go.
I should have the KT back together tonight then I can move on to my Moto Sherman again.

If I recall the Mato KT is wired differently than the HL tanks. I think both wires connect to somewhere in the turret whereas with HL tanks the power wire goes to the power switch in the turret and the negative goes down into the hull. It's been awhile since I looked at a Matarro wiring.
