nice! thanks for the info! I tried to test out the same way as you but i guess i didn't get them all..
so from this diagram from both plugs which number matches with which?

Accordfreak, first let me help you with the "button side." In order, 14 should be PINK, 15 is WHITE, 16 is GREEN, 17 is YELLOW,18 is BROWN, 19 is BLUE, 20 is BLACK and 21 is RED. I've included a close up of the "button side" connector in case I have the order backwards. In anycase, it's easy to figure out if you compare the picture to your wheel.
As for the power side, which is the grey connector that plugs in with the yellow connector to the back of the hub, I'm not as sure. I don't have any photos of the wiring. I do remember that there are only two open places on the grey connector to add a female wire connection to mate up with the pins on the hub. Might be # 27,34, 24 or 31. See pictures

If I had to guess on the grey connector, I think it would be the one I circle in the oicture below. But it shouldnt be hard to figure out now that you know which wire is poweer on the button side, just supply power to it and see what pin lights up with a test light on the other side where the grey connector snaps in.

THANKS Daehtihs I got mine to work. The slot for the 12v power is actually the bottom pin.. next to the missing pin. I'll attach a pic..
I gounded mine at the same point.
As for the plug itself (pictured below), it doesn't have a pin for connection so what I did was take out the ground pin from the pink wire steering control (since I have to cut it anyways to ground). Cut enough wire to have some slack for connection. I then stuck that pin in the gray connector (pictured below) for easy connection.
thanks again for your help! it saved me a headache.
