WH-00036 has pins swapped!

NOTICE
This information is incorrect. The pins are in fact not swapped but the electric diagram is not labeling the switches correctly. See this post for details.


Just a head's up to fellow Skyview Retrofitters.
The conversion harness WH-00036 has the PTT pins swapped. I am the second builder who discovered this, so there might be more out there. When you have hooked up your harnesses you can check the easily accessible Fuselage end. Use an Ohmmeter if you're in the building phase and connect one lead to ground and the other should touch pin 3 on the Fuselage plug. When pressing the Pilot PTT the Ohmmeter should show close to 0 Ohms. Make sure you have the PTT ground really connected to ground (I hadn't yet). If the Ohmmeter doesn't change, then press the Co-Pilot's PTT and it should trigger if your pins are swapped.
Verify this again with pin 1 of the Fuselage plug. This time, the correct PTT should be the Co-Pilot one. The pins are swapped if it triggers when the Pilot's PTT is pressed.
See my post on VAF to catch up with the rest of the thread.
To fix this you can open the Fuselage plug and swap the pins 1 and 3 and you're done.
