Thanks for such a detailed reply, that wasa great read. The loose black wire that you see is the same black wire from the TURBO Swith, I had to cut all the wires from the back of the TURBO switch (the black one and the 2 brown ones) in order to be able to remove the front plastic cover of the case, …
