just got my backlit reels today, for my s2000

where do i mount the controller

where do i hook controller to machine

It mounts to the back wall of the machine under the reel shelf . Some times the control need to be removed and just the board is mounted if it wont fit as is . There is already mounting for screws in the back wall .  see  attached pic

aw my controller didnt come in a box so if i try to mount it looks like it will short out

you really need the mounting plate and cover.
An alternative would be to mount the board to a piece of cardboard then uee double stick tape to attach to the back wall

There might be a 6 pin molex connector tied up or loose if you have a s2000 and not a vision or vision ready
The wire colors are red, orange and black with orange and/or red tracers that is the power
if you got a reel harness you need to install it or see if the one in the machine has a white molex connector that is not connected near reel 3. 
you should also have a short cable that will connect to cabinet I/O card mounted to the MPU cover. yes it connects to the connector on the front of the card, the other end goes into the controller.
the end with the iron core on it goes to the cabinet I/O
When was your machine made
If it was late enough the only thing you should have to do is mount the board and plug in the existing connectors.

I say this because I bought a complete S2000 lower harness for my vision ready and it had the back lit reel harness, cabinet I/O to back light controller, and power harness to the controller.

 i have mounted several without the back plate or the front cover over  the control board its has a spacer to prevent touching the back.  post a pic of what you got?

here are pics of controller and back of cabinet

You do have the power harenss for the board it is near the solenoid for the handle.
I suspect the reel harness has the connection to the board as well search around reel 3 for it.
Also look at your cabinet I/O Card and see if a harness is connected to the front connector.

i have the power and the reel harness connector but not the i/o connecter

okay harness for i/o board being sent out. now i just need to figure a way to mount , this board is a newr one and i was told the newr machines the board mounted directly to the cabinet. this board does not match up with my cabinet

 I think one of my 5 reel enhanced board s2000 have these boards in them.   I can take pic tomorrow for you of the placement in machines . there not at were i am
