Hello,
I'm helping a friend with his Federal CJ284 that came off of one of his original patrol cars when he started back in the day. Can anyone provide a manual or advise how these are connected. I noticed that the systems appeared to have ran on a positive ground system since all of the positive wires are shorted to the ground of the light. By disconnecting the light from the motor, I was able to power the lights alone and they are all in working order. I did not see any wires that were not showing continuity with one another on the whole light, except for two wires that appear to have gone to the siren box. The wires that I see are, one large gauge red wire, one large gauge black wire, and two brown wires that go to a small block that likely were connected to a siren. The red wire and the black wire are both connected to ground.I ordered a 12v 30a power supply to dedicate to this unit to operate in doors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
