MX7000 - New to Me

I just picked up an MX7000, with all-red covers that I plan to use on my F-150 (I'm a volunteer firefighter). Everything about it is new to me but here is what I know about the wiring:
  1. Red - inside rotators
  2. Red/White - Outside Rotators
  3. Grey - Center Rotator
  4. Brown - White corners
  5. Green - Alternating reds on the front
  6. Black - Ground
  7. Brown/White - can hear a relay, but not seeing any lights.
No idea about the Blue, Orange/Black, Black/White, or the Yellow.
The problems I have:
  1. I have some white lights in the rear that are not lighting
  2. One of the Outside Rotators (Red/White) are spinning much faster than the other and sometimes the worm gear isn't engaging the rotator gear.
Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Erik

The bro/whi wire is likely takedowns relay that is built inro the flasher. When you apply power if it clicks once (on) then it's takedowns relay, if it click-clacks repeatedly then it's a secondary flasher. Either way, heads are easy to find and pretty cheap if you want to upgrade.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking since it only clicks the one time. I'll most likely open it up and check all the connections/wiring and look for any issues.
