Here are three pictures of the wiring in my ZB89, it should be the same as yours.

Top of the machine is upside on the pictures.

The two wires coming from the switch are easy to see. Each of them goes down to a marrette or grommet if you prefer.

On pictures 2 and 3 , I pointed at the location of each wire going from a marrette to the motor, the right one at 2 oclock and the left one at 8 oclock.

Yep looks like what i have minus the cord reel , i wired directly to the switch thats why i have 3 grommets
i want to test continuity before i go any further .
motor to switch,
cord to switch
motor to cord is what i have 3 grommets il test her out tomorrow if im not to busy donor motor from my ap 200 .(been a few years since this 86 saw dust id like to get her going .)
 
I did find out by re wire ring it that my switch connection was bad frayed wires could that have cause the short?
Thats why i put a new cord on .
 
Id like to check my motor before i fire it up for the second time , reason being it shut off when it was in my ap 200 bag light came on if air flow was restricted at the hose so i put it in model 86 i think i have it wire right now but i want a voltmeter to be sure .
 
At this point, it’s already wired up so plug it in and fire it up. Your connections look good and it could be a possibility that the original cord was shorted so Give it a whirl.
