I have a real mystery on my hands. As discussed previously in another post. Strobes not working from the panel
1. I cut the wires from the panel (+ and -) near the controller and connected the strobe controller DIRECT to my cigarette lighter outlet with a test harness I made, turned on the battery switch and all 3 strobes fired beautifully.
2. Then I re-checked the voltage at the (cut wires + and -) which come from the panel and ordinarily supply power to the controller. Turned strobe switch on and got 12.5v steady on the multimeter. again, that's using the + and - from the panel.
3.Then tried using 12v power from the panel switch and grounding the ground wire from the strobe controller to the frame (sharing the GDL 82 ground). No voltage on the multimeter..tried several other nylon lock nuts in the back which I'm sure are grounded and still no voltage
4. Rewired the system using the original wires and no strobes
This makes no sense whatsoever..any ideas?
Thanks
