Need help wiring Marquee light (Fluoresc.)
BobA:
Well if everything is new.... Is the starter an exact match to what was replaced? Is the starter grounded to your ground plug for AC?
On the other had Walmart sells short flourescents with a switch, cord and enclosure for about 10 that seem to work just fine.

I actually bought a full fluorescent lamp w/switch for $15 and replaced what was inside the cab. However, I managed to use some of the original parts, like the steel frame, and the end sockets. In other words, I only placed a new starter, ballast, and lamp. I still needed to figure outnhow to wire it up, but I followed the original wiring...
And to make myself clear, the same 'shaking' was necessary with the lamp, right out of the box. Should have returned it as soon as I noticed, but I figured maybe it was just that it was 'cold' or something. grrrrrr....
