Picked this up at a TCA auction in Phoenix this last January. Its history is a little murky but it appears it started life as a PS-1, then got converted to a PS-2 by swapping the original shell onto a newer PS-2 chassis. It runs, sounds and behaves just fine, but neither the headlight or BU lights seem to work. Took it apart today and both lights are plugged into their respective blue and green 2 pin plugs. The lights are actually 3mm clear leds sandwiched into clear plastic "light" housings, and there is no inline ballast resistor in either harness. Both appear to be open circuit, no life at all.
I have not done any PS-2/3 conversions in a while, so I am a little rusty. Just want to ask; is there supposed to be an inline ballast resistor in these led harnesses? Or is the resistor onboard? My guess is that in it's previous life, with no resistor, the leds got too much current after the PS-2 upgrade, and toasted. Sound right?
Thanks for any ideas.
