I presume I simply follow from point to point, just not sure what to be testing exactly. Ohms to be almost zero between lights? How to test each light? Thanks for the help!!

Im guessing chief, no voltage bad driverI would start with some voltage checks. The first would be to have the meter selected to DC volts and take a reading between the red and black wires with the lights turned on.
See if the readings from the red arrow match the readings from the blue arrow.
That's my guess too.Im guessing chief, no voltage bad driver
Unless a wire or to desolder, or a circuit breaker or fuse in the unit Maybe.That's my guess too.
@Brew12 @Jomama I attached a pic of the DC voltage readings on the points as mentioned. The reading of all zeros is when the leads aren’t attached to anything. The voltage theory doesn’t make sense in my head because the white lights work when I switch the power wires. Plus my hot wire tester (forgot the name of the actual device) shows there is power all the way to the first soldering points. Other ideas?
Just to be clear, are the first soldering points where I put the red and blue arrows? Looks like it but want to make sure.Plus my hot wire tester (forgot the name of the actual device) shows there is power all the way to the first soldering points. Other ideas?
I do not. I might consider temporarily moving it to a non GFCI receptacle if I were going to be gone for a few days. I like using multiple GFCI's so a trip of one won't take everything out. If my return pump trips, my powerheads will still provide flow and O2. I'll lose heat but it will be fine for 10 to 12 hours.Do you recommend a non GFCI receptacle for the return pump?
Yup, shouldn't be an issue to connect the ground probe to the chiller outlet.Hi, I have a question regarding plugging in my ground probe. Here goes..
I have a temp controller that my heater plugs into. There is two sockets, one for heating (where my heater is plugged) and one for cooling which I will never need.
My question is: can I plug my ground probe into the socket meant for cooling? Whilst there needs to be electrical input to get a fan or chiller to run I’m thinking the ground connection is always connected. What do you guys think?
New to the forum here but. I am also and Electrical Contractor. I specialize in high end custom homes, lighting control, automation, and A/V as well.After 25 years experiance on the field and 15 years at the office, as an electrican I think I can answer most of your questions.
Thanks to my fellow electricians for helping answering your question's.
