Hello everyone. I bought a used patrol car recently and it has all Whelen lights and a Whelen cencom sapphire controller.
when the key is turned on, there is no power to the controller.
I looked at a schematic and started at the beginning. I unplugged the 40 amp vertical plug with 2 red+ and 2 black -. I have power going to the control box. No lights on on the control box at all.
I checked all the fuses on top and all are good.
should I suspect the main control box is toast?
I was looking for the ignition & backlight wires but could not determine which they are.
it’s mounted under the passenger seat on 2017 Ford Explorer police interceptor
I am planning to contact Whelen tomorrow and ask for some trouble shooting assistance
any input in the meantime would certainly be greatly appreciated
