@Laker80 posted:Does anyone have a good guide or video on how to disconnect and reconnect the wires from a switch? It looks like you would remove them from the track side and use an eyeglass or computer screw driver to reattach them but I don't want to do this without confirming.
I'm looking to remove the wires, drill a hole through the table, fish the wire back through and have them hidden.
You can do it either way. Personally, I prefer unscrewing the wire at the controller end, but that's just me. I take the controller apart and unscrew the wires, making sure to write down which color goes where. I then drill a hole through the layout directly under the switch and run the wire through the hole and connect back up to the controller.
Also, if you need more length for your wire, use 4 conductor telephone cable to extend the wire. In that situation, I do not remove the wire from either the switch or the controller. I simply cut the wire in half and feed the cut end still connected to the switch through the layout hole, so now you have two cut ends under the layout - one from the switch and one from the controller. I then cut the length of new cable I need to make the two cut ends connect together and twist the colored wires together at both ends using "jelly bean" connectors.
