MX7000 Wiring Questions

Hi everyone,

Working on my first bar which was a torn apart parts bar that’s now fully loaded with sweeps, 6-Head Arrowstik, etc. I ran into a few issues when I was wiring a few things though.

My first is for the flashers, I have a 710 flasher hooked up to 4 flasher modules in the front of the bar (see pictures) and I wanted to utilize the steady burn feature. The manual says to positively switch terminal F while power is applied to activate it through the SW300 switch box I have but every time I flip the switch, it blows the fuse. I’m not sure how else you would wire this but from what I understand from the diagram.

Second, how do I wire the Arrowstik to a basic code 3 Arrowstik controller? I have the newer style modules that require some kind of special connectors and I’m not sure where to get the wiring harness and how to wire it to the controller. I have attached pictures of before and after below. Thanks!

For the 710 flasher, terminal A should always be connected to +12V (20A fused) and terminal H is ground. Terminal E activates steady burn, F is pause (off). If that's what your doing and it's still blowing fuses, it sounds like the flasher is defective,

Post a pic of the Arrowstick connectors and I can give you more advice on that.

Those connectors are standard for all but the very earliest MX7000 ArrowStik. I just sent the last bunch of MX7000 ArrowStik harnesses that I had to @EHFD_Tower_751. Perhaps he'll come off of one.
