icecap wiring
 

i am tryint to finish my diy 8 bulb canopy running 2 icecap 660-009 balasts 4 bulbs each but the diagram i have has 2 wires for each color and the factory harneses only have 1 of each color with some extra colors not very good at wiring was wondering if someone out there could give me some tips or even come over and give me a hand there could very well be beer here for the lucky volunteer :mrgreen: i would really apreciate the help this is like a totally different language to me:confused:

replys
 

still no replys i had lapdog come over to help but he knows as much as i know so we end up with 1 bulb out of 8 firing still really need help maybe an acro frag could entice someone to step up to the plate and help a fellow reefer out

Maybe post a picture so people can see the harness. I re-wired mine but it was a different ballast.

i cant seem to upload pics to canreef i have tried several times if anyone local could come over and have a look that would be way more helpful

sounds like you have the wrong harness for a 660. the colors are in pairs for sure:
2 red
2 yellow
2 blue
2 brown
and black, white and green for power

checking on the 440 for you now

440 colors are paired as well, not sure what you have there

harness
 

its the one that came with it and it plugs right in to the balast

let me know if you want to try and match the wires (colors) at the pins, I can let you know which bulbs they go to on mine if it will help....

weird, the diagram you have came with the ballast?

the diagram on the balast is the same as the one online and the harness has all the colors in singular with extra wires
