Help! Replacing halogen transformer.
Hi everyone,
Hope someone can help. Following an earlier thread on here, I found out I needed to replace the transformers on my halogen ceiling lights. I got these ( same ones as original make ) and attached the wires on the first one - red to brown, blue to black at the first connector from the "main" cable. I then connected the other two ends which I understand are effectively neither live or neutral. I did this on only one of the non-working lights to check this fixed the problem Which, of course, it didn't. It made it worse, in that not only did the sole remaining light now not work but there was a short BUZZ coming from *either* the transfromer itself or perhaps the light switch, it's hard to tell. I swapped the new transformer out for the old one, and the sole remaining light worked again. Any ideas what either I've done wrong, or if there might be some other problem I need to consider? I guess that since I swapped the old transformer back and the system works, it's not as simple as me having wired it up incorrectly. Many thanks in advance. -- Dave Jennings '89 VS 1400, '99 ZX6R www.cruiserclubcaledonia.com |
