Would anyone happen to know which orange wire is positive? are they both positive? :unsure:
 
The orange wire on the end is the positive. Second orange is a signal(programming). Lucky you I was working on Kratie tonight.
How do I know. Funny you ask. Before I tell the tale, remember it was all for science, shits and giggles.

First we remove the two screws holding switch case together. And remove the top case cover.

Then we pop out the circuit board...wait a minute.. they didn't, did they?

Holy morher of God! They conformal coated the circuit board directly into the case bottom.
At least we know it's waterproof. Or at least this one was....

After some cutting, prying, love taps from the hammer and chisel...We discover that the wires obstruct our view of the markings...

And finally, we have it!

Lucky me I have a BLX185 to chuck in here if the spare switch fails....

Thank you for your sacrifice and efforts.

Thanks bro! I couldn't get it to work for some reason. When I connected them to xlx2 it just turned on and the button didn't work. Must be more to it? I dunno why i assumed I could just solder this button on instead of using xlx2 switch 🤣
