REWIRING

2. Connect the thin blue wire from the switch/button board to the thick green wire (top terminal) of the motor. Or solder the thin blue wire to the top motor terminal and eliminate the green wire.
3. Connect the thick pink/red wire (positive battery terminal) to the thick blue wire (bottom terminal) of the motor. Or solder the thick pink/red wire to the bottom motor terminal and eliminate the thick blue wire.
4. No other wires are needed, you can remove the thin pink wire completely.
