DDE's Dead
 
And the saga continues. They won't turn on at all. Not even 1 ring. Any ideas?????

they all went at the same time?

you do any power checks or anything yet?

Check the fuse. If any water gets in the ballast it will blow the fuse and none can turn on.

they were on last night. tonight they did not come-on. checked the fuse. it is fine...

what do you mean by POWER CHECK??????????????

Fezzik Aug 20, 2005 09:13 PM

try getting another ballast and see if that is the problem. Open up one of the ballast and smell inside to see if u smell anything burning. Or this actually happened to me once. i have mine connected to the parking light wire and there was a bad connection with that tap provided with the DDEs

check your ground wire ... if its lose or if there is any rust.

Check if your power connections didn't get loose. That might be your problem.

everytime mine all turn off like that its my ground.... gotta keep it tight!

by power check i mean use a test light or DMM to see if you have voltage at the connector (for the ballast, not at the bulb/light). make sure the pins are good, if youre using a common ground, make sure its tight and clean, like mentioned above. you might put a star washer under it and use a weather sealant on it too...
