I bought a broken ctc 2nd gen printer off craigslist for $50 and the owner had no idea what was wrong other than he had taken the hotpoint off and had cut the wires after some testing i have found that the only thing wrong is one of the wires had broken on both of them probably because he had thaken it off several times trying to figure out how it worked). I ordered a new extruder set off of ebay but have no idea which wires go where since he did not give me the old set. Can someone tell me which wires go where on the board?

Not sure what the 2nd gen looks like but if you take a picture and upload it we should be able to help

there are 4 wires coming off of each hotpoint and there are 8 wires that are cut off hanging from the 2 points circled in the picture but i have no reference as to which wires go where and i am afraid to attach them wrong and burn it up. (in the 2nd picture) 2 of the wires come from the tubsticking in the block (which i assume is the thermostat) and 2 are screwed into the block which i assume is the element.

i need to know where the 2 wires go on the board for the thermostat (which is the tube that runs through the block)

With stepper motor drivers at the bottom(Facing towards you) In order, from left to right, Thin, black, thin red, Thermally insulated red, thermally insulated red(Those two should be the element, and polarity wouldn’t matter)
Give me a sec to upload the photos
