    arrow 500 y axis overtravel problem

    Hello,
    My normally open (first) overtravel signal is not getting through, so it hits the hard stop switch and flags out. I have pulled the switch and it ohms out properly, so might be the cable. I am trying to track the cable through the back cabinet, but does anyone know if it goes to the axis control or to a different board where I can test it?
    Thanks

    Update--- I found the cable on the input board and checked ohms -- no continuity where the table was parked, but got continuity after moving the table, so looks like the cable is the problem. I may try to align the machine a few times and see if I get lucky with it making contact just to get back to work for now, but will have to replace the cable soon.
    Anyone know what cable numbers I need to find replacement? I assume it has to be hi-flex?
    Thanks
