Nintendo Wii combo Component/Composite Cable

Step 3 Locate and cut mode wires

Now, you'll want to locate and cut the mode wire. You need to do this because you'll add in the switch in the middle of this circuit. If you leave this connection shorted all of the time, then the Wii will automatically output over the component connections. Adding in the switch allows you output over composite.

You'll notice that there is a very short span of wire here. Take your wire cutters and cut this open. You'll want to then strip the wires and solder some connectors to a longer wire. If you look at the plug from the right angle at this point, it will look like it has rabbit ears sticking up. I've found that positioning the plug and wires like this makes it easiest to accomplish the next step.
