What's wrong with this wiring scheme? There are no lights on when the unit is wired to power cord and to female receptacle (load). For the power cord, I have the black (hot) wire connected to Port 2 and the white (neutral) wire connected to Port 4. For...

Your hot wire from the wall should go to port 1 and 3. Neutral from the wall should go to 4 and neutral of the receptacle. Port 2 should go to the hot of the receptacle. ground from the wall should go to ground of the receptacle. Do you have an ohm meter? You can check to make sure that your wires are connected to the proper pins of your receptacle and cable. See here: http://cdn.instructables.com/FD5/BGJG/GZLW99UC/FD5BGJGGZLW99UC.LARGE.jpg

It sounds like you have the wrong wire contacted to the power source. One wire goes the a permanent power soure and the other goes to the ingnition switch. Couldn't tell you which color goes where because I returned my unit because it froze on me and stopped working.

I agree with the previous response. If you know the outlet is good and its fully plugged in and you push the on button and nothing happens most likely the power supply in the unit is bad. Time to return it.....

Dont know, sorry. Have you tried unplugging it and restarting. Sounds like wiring problem

You purchased the night lights? When you turn the lights off they should turn on automatically when plugged in. Make sure your outlets work but no there is no tricks.

I just received mine and there was no wiring. Only a pig-tail wire with connector to hook the wiring into it. I am looking into buying a wiring kit so that I can install it.

Sorry you are out of luck. This particular switch requires 3 wires and a ground - you should return it. Some other switches only require 2 wires. Your two wires are both "hot", usually black wires, the line and load they are called. This switch also requires white/neutral and should also be grounded - green.

First, the power supply to each unit needs to be plugged in.The units should light up after the HDMI and cate5 connections are made securely. The cate5 connections are sensitive. You may have to wiggle them to make connection. Make sure those cate5 cords are wired properly. Use a tester if in doubt. I had mine working for about 5 minutes. After that, they haven't worked since, even with the lights on. I'm reluctant to purchase new extenders (assuming they are the problem) because of the expense. I've called in the Geek Squad for assistance (due next week).

Hello E. R.! My sincere regrets on hearing about the issue. A little more information about the actual state of the equipment would be very helpful in assisting. If there is not any backlighting apparent when turning on the unit, it could be a faulty contact under the "On" button or a blown fuse. Was anything spilled on the controller or have you ensured the quality of A/C coming from the wall? If you can, please provide more details on symptoms and what you have tried thus far in troubleshooting. Thanks, and best of luck! :)

There is a requirement for an installed plug. The units come with two switches, one is off and on the other is three way dim to bright. You have to have on/off switch for safety reasons. The wires are very thin. Hope this helps.

sounds like you may have to send it back, but you can at least plug in another power supply, or test the units power supply on another 5 volt system, just to see what is broken. I have mine plugged into one of the USB ports on my TV, that way it powers off with the TV so I don't see a power light, it must be on the power supply it self. maybe moving it to another outlet might help to isolate the problem, just in case it was the outlet, saving you the trouble of sending it back. Good Luck!

I would ensure that the light on the on off switch is on, and if not I would check that the power cord is plugged in to the unit properly and an ac outlet, and that there is in fact power at the ac outlet. Johnnie

I think it is the ON position. On mine, if it is ON and I plug it in, the light goes off. And if I pull it out of the socket, simulating a power outage, the light comes on. If it is OFF/Charge position, you can pull it out of the socket and nothing happens. If it is in the night light/charge position, the night light is always on. The only think I am not sure of is if it getting charged when it is in the ON position and plugged in.Sorry, I noticed too late that geeker answered the same way.

The power light (green LED on the right side) does not turn on when I plug my unit in either. It is necessary to press the On/Off button on either the remote control or the unit itself before the light comes on. On my unit, quickly pressing the On/Off button on the unit and releasing it does not light the light; I must hold the button for 2 to 3 seconds before the light comes on . Try holding the button for several seconds.

Plugged in, does any lights come on?Make sure you have 110 volts, on extension cord?

ok i had the same problem after i installed the forth light to the back because i had only three lights installed (front and both sides)...the wires are thin so u have to be really careful when wrapping the cords.. plug them out then plug back in and see. right now only the blue works perfectly but i notice wen i shake the wires all the colors works.

Make sure the little white plug from light string to ac converter (white) arrows align. The male and female ends will plug in either way but little arrows must align
