Sharing a pic from a new project. I don't see that many wiring pics on here.
I am going to make one 2100 style vac from 2 .
My sister-in-law is borrowing my Ambassador II for now.
Her Hi-Tech 2100 was a mess - burnt smell, power reel falling apart, loose and overheated wires, electrical tape, etc. Someone did not work on it properly before.
functionally, I know how it all gets wired correctly.
So I pulled it apart, temporarily fixed what I could to to get it running properly.
With the motor & harness out of the housing, It is easier to diagnose & make sure everything is working OK.
It is interesting to turn the individual switches on & off & visualize how it works as well as having any corresponding lights come on.
For the thermal light to illuminate, it only requires disconnecting 1 wire.
Option 1 - rewire it. I have everything to do this.
Option 2 - put the motor in my old LE that needs a motor.
I like the simplicity of the LE, mine did not have a bag lockout switch, but that is easily added.
The wiring diagrams for a 2100 online are minimal at best, and do not properly explain how it all works.
Every wire going to a switch in the picture below shows signs of overheating
