5 wires are used for the connection between the mod-board and the switch module.
When the switch-module is in place and the Xbox is powered up, 5volts comes into this module to power the LED. Ground is also present and is used here to “activate” the three switch able options. That is, when any of the remaining three wires are grounded out they “activate” their respective owner.

As from this picture above (NOTE: all actual tests were performed on the red module, not the green one pictured here –I would speculate no differences), moving from bottom to top we have this pin out:

Pin 1 (closest to bottom) = 5Vdc
Pin 2 = Ground
Pin 3 = Protect option
Pin 4 = Enable select option
Pin 5 (furthest from bottom) = Bank select

An example would be if the top switch in the above picture is in the up position (enable selected) then pin 4 would be grounded. Again, if one wanted to have these three options selected; Enable the mod, Keep it in protected mode, and have it on Bank1, then pins 2, 3, 4, and 5 could be tied together (tying pins 3, 4, and 5 to ground).

Any questions feel free to pm me!
