Ralf,
I also managed to get the lightmeter on without any batteries in the winder.
to what did you connect pin 2 to, camera chassis ?
I have no explanation yet, and do not think it is reliable, because
otherwise Pentax could remove 2 contact pins from its
winder/camera interface.
Probably to do with unintentional capacitive coupling ?

I just made some tests this morning with my ME II winder and my ME. At
least with this combination I am able to trigger the light meter with
pin N°2 when both camera and winder are set to 'auto'. Interestingly
this does not depend on whether or not there are any batteries in the
winder. So with my winder pin N°2 works the same way as half depressing
the winder button, and I know that I haven't done any changes to the
wiring of the winder. But maybe one of the previous owners?
cheerio
