I recently purchased HS2 "The Getaway", the beacon and light don't work. I followed the wiring diagram and found J2 form the Triac board was connected to J105 instead of J104, swapped J104 and J105. The rest of the wring appears to be correct. I'm trying to think of a quick way to test all the way through to the bulb/motor, what points can I hook up a multi-meter or 12v circuit tester to test?

Any and all suggestions welcome.

I would check the solders on the little triac board. It always has bad or cold solders. Reflow them all and you should fix your problem. Both of mine needed that done
Good luck!

Hawk007, I just come back to post an update. I did exactly what you are suggesting and it works great!! On to the Supercharger ramp lights.

Thanks for your dead on suggestion...

Hi Hawk - I have a Getaway with a dome light issue. In test mode it lights but does not spin. Any ides on what the issue might be?

BTW - it is an aftermarket light I picked up from Marcos a few years ago and just got around to installing it. thanks - Harvey

Yes. I would check the same thing. If the power is not strong enough ..ie bad solders the beacon will light but not turn. Reflow all the solders on the little triac board [ super common problem] and you will be good to go.
