Removed my inner edge XLP single color and replaced it with a Supervisor Flex in Red White dual color. I got this unit used and it is still under warranty.
I tested it and swear all functions were working prior to install. After my installer finished putting it in we noticed the far passenger side dual color lightheads has the white not operating in all functions scene, warning, and takedown. The red in the same lighthead operates fine.
Second problem and perhaps the more serious one is when I activate the scene mode, my warning lights (all different ones) activate at a very low power. The lights that come on are my feniex t3s in the rear window, plate bracket, intersection bracket and my sound off ghosts in the grill. My whelen lin3, FireWire rocker panel LEDs and tailgate led are all unaffected. Intermittently one of my whelen talons in the rear window will glitch as well the but only has happened 2/30 tests.
In addition when I deactivate the scene light the button on the controller turns the input off (or at least the light on keypad turns off) but the scene lights remain active and so do all the glitchy lights until I either hit another keypad button (any button) or turn my headlight switch on off which changes the input of the day/night mode of the keypad.
***This scenario only occurrs if the truck is running This does not occur if the truck is in accessory or "on" without engine running***
All other secondary functions including cruise, dim, takedown and warning work as appropriate (except for that one white module)
My system is a feniex 4200 with whelen alpha, code 3 supervisor flex, 2 sound off ghosts in the grill, 2 whelen lin3 in the bumper spacer, 4 feniex t3s on an intersection bracket, 2 whelen talons and 2 feniex t3s in the rear window, 2 FireWire 60" rocker panel LEDs on the side, 1 FireWire tailgate light and 2 feniex t3s on the rear. license plate bracket
Slider L1 rear only
Slider L2 rear and side
Slider L3 all lights
Front LEDs except lightbar on same input
Lightbar warning on separate input.
Rocker panel LEDs on separate input for L and R
Rear window LEDs on same input
Tailgate and rear license plate on same input.
The breakout box for the supervisor is located next to the 4200 brains which is also next to the alpha amp all under my back bench seat.
The supervisor has 12 wires for 6 lightheads each dual color, and an additional ground and unused wire.
From factory the main lightbar cable runs to the breakout box and has male female connectors halfway. He told me he soldered those connections and extended the cable and is sure they are good. The lightbar cable runs to the breakout box. From the breakout box there is a separate input plug which has seperate input for dim, cruise, scene, takedown, flash rate, flash pattern and finally level 1 level 2 level 3 warning mode(which we tied together as we have the flash pattern and flash rate on momentary buttons).
The breakout box has a main power and ground which I know he connected to the main input coming to the 4200 and he made and fused the connections before the 4200 connected. I asked him if this could be the problem, he stated no.
On Saturday he is going to help me take down the passenger side of the lightbar to make sure there is no problems inside the lightbar cover to see if we can resolve the white module issue as the module that is out is located right next to the entrance of the main cable. We are also going to try and troubleshoot and fix the scene light issue. My 2 cents is that it is a voltage issue perhaps because the breakout box is sharing power with the feniex controller. He stated that the main power feed should be more than enough for all.
I have already reporgrammed the controller twice and remapped the scene light input to make sure it wasn't a bad read/write.
Thoughts or help is always appreciated
