WorkHorse 5 ballast wiring help (Edmonton)

The sockets can be a pain.

You have 4 red wires, 2 which you wont use.

1. Get some extra wire(use one of the unused red wires) cut off 4 5-6" pieces of wire, now take 2 of the extra wires, join them together. Now that they are joined connect them to one of the red wires that you will use. Either cap it all off or solder them together, ensure they are connected, now you have 1 wire that turns into two, push them into each side of the socket.

2. Repeat step one for the next socket

3. You will have 1 yellow wire. You essentially have to repeat the same steps for the red wire, but this time you only have 1 wire to work with. Line up the bulbs, strip off the sheathing of the yellow wire in one place and then ensure the end of the wire is stripped off. Get some extra wire 4 @ 5-6" again. Now connect the 2 wires together and then connect them to one of the bare spots on the wire. Repeat the same step on the end of the wire.

This is fairly heavy gauge wire, and it's essential that the wires are bound together tightly and that each of the 2 wires are joined together before joining them to the master wire.

I just wired this a couple of weeks ago and it has worked well. Furthermore with the way that they are connected you can still run 1 bulb if the other is burned out.

I've attached a quick mspaint diagram with the instructions again.
