My manual shows a 7-pin connector with 6 wires used. Each pin goes to the corresponding number on the controller input. Pins 4 and 5 are the motor. Pin 3 is ground and one end of the pot. Pin 2 is the wiper of the pot. Pin 1 is the other end of it. Pin 6 goes to pin 6 on the controller, but the schematic shows it not connected to anything on the rotor end

Are you sure we are talking about the same model? My manual for the SDX series shows only a 6 pin connector, while the DXA series uses a 7 pin connector. From the outside they look very similar and it would be easy to confuse the two.

Also, the DXA manual shows the wiring inside the motor housing, whereas the SDX manual does not. I think that's why Tom posted the question in the first place, for which I do not have an answer.
