ls6pilot Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 My right wing green nav light quit working. Pulled it off and not getting current at the light with switch on. Left light working fine. Would appreciate tips on finding most likely location for lack of continuity. most efficient steps for troubleshooting? Thanks in advance.

Tom Baker Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I would check the connection in the wing root next. You may be able to reach it through the aileron belcrank hole and have enough slack to check it. It gets disconnected when pulling the wings for the inspection and sometimes the wires get pulled on.

Runtoeat Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Tom's suggestion is best but It may be the light is just NFG. My experience is the LEDs gradually burn out individually until only a few are left working but perhaps they all went together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed he meant voltage instead of current. If he actually meant current the light could still be the issue. A electrical item that has an open circuit will not draw any current even with voltage present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Should have read the post better. Re-read and assume same as you which is, "no current" means "no voltage". Your suggestion to check at wing root connector is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
