Feniex Fusion dumb head wiring

Just to verify what I'm fairly certain is correct...

Wiring for a feniex fusion dual color dumb head is as follows:
Red - Constant Powet
Black - Ground
Yellow & Blue - Triggers for the 2 colors

I tried hooking them up as above earlier today for an addition for my build, using a Whelen ULF-44 as the flashing source. When I activated my flasher, the lightheads just came on steady in both modes and would occasionally blink, but not flash with the flasher...

Just making sure that I have then run right, or maybe they don't play nice with the ULF-44...

I'd bet no bueno with the ULF44.

you could try the opposite by applying steady to the trigger wires then output the ulf onto the red. if that still doesnt work then it would be a no bueno for the flasher

I was told that they are dumb heads... Maybe they are regular dual mode...? I'm gonna play/test them at work tonight...

Its strange that they wouldn't work with the ULF-44... I have custom made T-300s with dumb T-4 heads in them and they work fine, but they are single color so that might be part of the issue...

I played around with them last night at work and hooked them up like a "smart" head and nothing... But when I hooked them up as I described above, they worked as a steady red or white. I just wish I had another flasher laying around to test with...

Try blue for constant and yellow red as triggers
I'll try that tonight, thanks man...

Upon further testing, it appears the only way they work is the way I had them wired originally...
The only thing I can think is that maybe there was a pinch or something in my wire runs... (I pre-ran a BUNCH of extra wires from the rear of my Durango to the footwell area of the passengers front seat when I first started installing stuff when I first got it)

So now I think these will be my mirror lights and get mounted under my mirrors on a set of swivel brackets that I've had laying around for like 4 years...

have you tried to bench test them and simulate a flasher?

Well, upon further testing, I guess these just don't play well with the ULF-44 flasher... :(:mad:
I direct wired them to power/ground and put the trigger leads directly on my flasher and they just turn on steady...

Now I'm on the hunt for something to use in their place...
