Default Target Tune Install Question

Hi everyone, I searched the site and could not find an answer to a question I have regarding the Target Tune installation.

At the side of the Target Tune unit, you are to install a series of colored wires (first break membrane using a paper clip)

These wires are not staying in for me. The installation was not clear how to keep these colored wires attached to the Target Tune module.

Am I supposed to turn the little screws (on the Target Tune unit, near where the wires push in) to tighten the wires? I didn't want to do this unless that is what I am supposed to do.

At the moment, I have the unit in such a place that the wires cannot easily come out, but they are not "stuck in" as well as I'd like.

I don't have pics now, but I can take some if clarification is needed.

You tighten the flat head screw to hold them in. One on each wire. They should be so far in there there is no copper showing

old thread but yeah they need to be pushed in far enough for the insulation to be into the hole. if your wires aren't tinned it might be hard to get them in far enough. then screw down tight and shouldn't be a problem.
