Step 2Disassemble the Swing
The goal here is to get access to the wiring from the batteries to the motor. The exact technique will vary depending on manufacturer of the swing, but most of the time you you have to remove a number of screws. This will allow you to split the plastic housing of the swing to gain access to the wiring.
I had to remove about 10 screws in order to accomplish this. The picture shows the plastic housing split apart, and the battery box, and wiring visible.
There should be two wires leading from the battery box, a red wire and a black wire. This is the positive (red) and negative (black) power for the motor/sounds/etc.
Cut both of these wires. I chose to cut them equally distant from the battery box and the circuit cards for the motor. This gave me several inches of wire to hold onto when soldering, which is very helpful.
