So I finally had a few hours to play with some of this stuff. The LFL Libertys (ST8RRBB, built December 2007) had me stumped for a little while as the wiring coming out of the bottom of the bars didn't match anything I found online. It's just a 12 conductor 18ga cable, no serial or CAN wires, no heavy gauge power cables. So I bit the bullet and opened one up. Only ten of the twelve conductors are used, two of which go to the individual halogen alleys, another goes to the halogen takedowns. The rest go to two small flashers stuck inside the bar. Turns out these are the same flashers used in the Whelen Dominators. I'm not sure if this is the way they came from the factory, but something tells me it's not... probably the stripped bits of wire insulation from the flasher wires floating around inside the bar and the date codes on the flashers! But it's a simple solution to be sure, and the lightbars work well set up like this. I even found the Scan-Lock wire and started playing with the severely limited patterns... probably the one big drawback to this setup. Anyway, here are some pics.
The handwritten info on the labels is completely faded away, so I had to break out one of my UV lights to get the data.
What I found when I opened the first one up. Not at all what I was expecting!
An -A6F flasher for the front lamps...
And an -A8 flasher for the rear lamps.
The rear lights have traffic advisor functionality, and they also have a dimmed/reduced-output mode for both warning and
TA. The fronts are not wired to be dimmed, but it appears that the option is there. Like I mentioned before, the patterns are few and not to my liking, but I suppose they're effective.
Unfortunately I don't think there's much I can do with the Legacy at the moment because it is a WeCAN bar and I have nothing to control it with. Next up are the Code 3 bars...
