This won't be of interest to everyone but I shot a quick video of a Code 3 Stingray unit I recently picked up. Doesn't seem to be a ton of info on them (a few posts here and a few videos of bars w them on YouTube) so I thought it might be helpful and/or of interest to simply show one in operation outside of a bar. This is a gen 1 but, other than having different brains and slightly different mounts, gen 1 and gen 2 seem essentially the same.

Not having any instructions with the used units I obtained over the years, I had problems getting them to function properly until I realized you have to ground the black wire and the base together like you did in your video. They can be a neat addition to a lightbar when the function properly.

Yeah that's a big reason I made the video. I hate narrating else I'd have made a more thorough one. The piece that took me a bit to figure out is that all three of the modes require power to terminal 2. Based on the diagram on the brain label, I'd assumed you just put power to the single corresponding terminal for each mode.
