Where do the victor motor 3 pin wires plug into exactly? The victor motor is hooked up to the van door motor.

One side of the cable plugs into the PWM input on the Victor, and the other goes to the PWM Outputs on the RC. Make sure that you plug into both correctly. The victor has the letters W,B,R to represent the color of the wire. The RC also clearly labels which colors go where.

When it comes to connecting the PWM cable, it doesn't matter which type of motor is connected. You will choose which RC output based on your software.

As a side note, the Spikes would plug into the Relay outputs of the RC.

Where do they plug into exactly on the robot controller? :confused:

They connect to the pins that say "PWM Outputs"

They are at the top of this picture

I'll contact you via PM

I hate to sound mean, but you should really read the IFI docs. Everything you're asking about is explained VERY clearly in the information provided by IFI - you'll be better prepared to work with the control system if you have a fair amount of familiarity with it, and spending 20 minutes flipping through the manual is a good way to gain that familiarity.

we have not the time
merci anyway

Plug the one end into the Victor with the black wire closest to the fan.
Plug the other end into a set of 3pins on the Robot controller that is labeled PWM Outputs.
The number of the PWM (1-16) is the number you need to use in the code to control that particular speed controller.

ie.
We have a Victor for the left drive that is conected to PWM16
The right Drive motor connected to PWM15.

In Our code we say
and our robot will go forward at full speed.

If we plugged the motors into pwm1 and pwm2, and used the above code, the robot would not be sending the signals to the right jacks.

Hope this helps.
Remember frustration will just frustrate you farther and nothing will get accomplished.
Reading the documentation is always a good idea and will assist in clarifying what you are trying to do. :)
