Hi all,
Brand new here, and in desperate need of some help/advice. My wife bought an outdoor solar chandelier which I installed and which has been working fine. I took the light down in order to do some reno work under the overhead deck, and in order to do this I had to cut the wire from the solar panel to the light fixture. Put the light back up and it does not work.
1. Batteries in the unit, 2 x 1.2v both test fully charged on multimeter which suggests solar panel is working
2. Connection to the round plug -in on the inside of the panel reads 3.58v...unable to check the outlet on the outside.
3. End of cut wire with the plug plugged into the panel reads 0.0v....suggesting that there's a problem in the wire or connection
4. The chandelier has 6 LED bulbs, all filaments are good and all ballast connections are good.
There are no specs anywhere on the light, , and yes, I have made sure the on/0ff switch is in the ON position. I'm concerned that the problem might be in the circuit board, but all soldered connections appear solid.
Any help or advice on this would be appreciated....I have been trying to fix this for over a week, and at $160 I would prefer to fix rather than replace. Could I use just any small solar panel wire connector to try and see if its just the wire or connector?
Thanks.
