hi just purchased a whelen edge lightbar, However when I went to test it there was no light at all I have checked all fuses and also noticed there are only a positive and neg wire no other wires to select each light individually is that right ?

Thanks

Uh.......no. There should be smaller gauge wires to test options, all my edges have wires for strobes and other parts
Hi thank you for reply just as I thought, no other wires though, very strange

What model is it? Large power and grounds are not unusual with a few models. If it is a serial bar you would only have two other small wires. If it is just a LC switching bar the other wires are removed but the connections would remain.

Sorry for the bad pictures but it has 4 corner strobes and 8 led flashers

Yes! The big red and black are power and ground. There is supposed to be a harness coming off that plug (hopefully that plug). That's the low current 12v switching. Wire colors varied, but 12v and ground to the big wires, and 12v to the small ones to make sure it is the right plug. Also this the the Woodway version, i.e. the UK or European version which makes sense since you are in the UK. The PDF I linked has an internal board picture too.

Thanks again for the reply I guess have to try source a harness for the end of the plug
I'd try putting power to those first, it very well could be a different plug. But, you'll need a plug for what ever the switching wires come off of.

youd need to get us more pics, if you only have the main 2 power and ground, you are missing a harness, I have thousands of parts for these in stock, at the minimum id need a pic of the whole IO board
He's definitely missing at least one harness with a better picture I would be pretty confident that you could find him something that would work.
