Hey all. I just took in a Whirwind on trade. It pretty much works well but I've noticed that part of the backbox lighting works and some is very dim. Occasionally it all works fine but usually it's too dim. It's pretty much the lights where "Whirlwind" text is located on the translite as well as the car with the kid holding the video camera.

Any suggestions before I start ripping things apart? I did notice that the plug/cord that plugs into my outlet still only has the two prongs. Any chance it just needs a new plug end with a ground?

Thanks for any tips!

dsuperbee thanks for the reply. The lights are actually dim and not completely out. You think it's still the same thing even though it's partially working? Thanks again

mbaumle hey thanks for the info. Would it be easy to determine whether the faulty connector is the end that connects to the backbox or the end that connects to the MPU?

mbaumle ok. Sounds like either way I need some parts. I was really just trying to determine whether there's an issue before the interconnect board or at the interconnect board itself. Where would you recommend I buy parts? Thank you

mbaumle schudel5 thanks guys! I may let a pro handle the board/pin repairs but I have replaced connectors before. Really appreciate the help.

P2K good call on the DeOxit. I forgot I had a bottle. Cleaned the connections and it seems to have resolved the issue, if only temporarily. I have my doubts that this is a long term solution but I'll take it while I'm waiting on parts. Thanks!
