Low voltage wires

My 10 year old mastercool had 4 wires the new junction box I have to replace needs 5. Y(fan). W(pump), R(24v), G(com), B(drain). The old unit has no white. What do I need to do?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    My guess is the yellow and white wires of the new unit would be connected together and then connected to the old yellow. I say this because White is Pump and Yellow is Fan and Connecting these two together would send a controller signal for both fan and pump simulteneously, which doesn't sound like an issue.



    If you know about circuit testing/troubleshooting, you could check out this hypothesis.



    Whaddya think?

    I would have to know what each of the old wires went to before I could attempt helping you. and I would have to have them labeled.

I just tested a mastercool control box and found these 4 control wire colors:

Red (24v supply)
White (pump)
Green (low blower)
Yellow (high blower)

The yellow acted as a common for testing when the blower was not on high.

Blower on low just green has 24v.
Blower on high green and yellow have 24v.

If there was a fifth wire added hopefully it would be a ground wire.

There was also the low gauge wires that were black, white, and ground that were not control wires and delivered power to the control box.

I need help with 2004 freestar headlights no highbeams and one dim i checked relays under hood, and replaced the multifunction switch. what next

I would suggest you take it to a qualified repair shop if you don't know how to test automotive electrical circuits > Viewing wiring diagrams to see what all is involved , using a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter etc.... Just replacing parts isn't the proper way to do it.Looking at a wiring diagram i see the multifunction switch. is a low voltage input to the smart junction box ( computer) The smart junction box supply's B+ voltage for the low beams . For high beams the SJB energizes the high beam relay . With the smart junction box being in control there could possibly be diagnostic trouble codes stored . Autozone an advance etc.. can not pull these codes . One dim one ???? One dim low beam ? Could be a ground issue . You probably don't know about voltage drop testing ,do you ?

I turn rocker switch on with one battery I show full, plug in a different battery, turn on rocker switch get nothing, both batteries show a full charge on charger. I think one battery is 3 years old other...

Hello

Check the following:

* Circuit breaker on main control box is tripped
* Fuse blown (check fuse in main control box assembly).
* Incorrect polarity at battery terminals
* Dead batteries.
* Charging cable is still connected to charging receptacle
* One of the cable connections at the main control box is loose.
* Control connection cable disconnected
* Broken key switch
* Throttle stuck fully open
* Throttle control potentiometer broken.
* Speed potentiometer broken
* Battery voltage too low.
* Faulty charging cable.
* Charger not working.
* Charging circuitry in main control box assembly not working


If these check OK, the problem is likely to in the control connection cable or upper control box Verify that the upper control box is getting 24V. (Blue wire on red connector.)

* If the upper control box is not getting 24V, replace control connection cable

* If the upper control box is getting 24V, check key switch operation and verify wiring in the upper control box. Trace voltage from keyswitch on to find where the problem occurs. (Replace upper control box if necessary.)

* Charge batteries with a 12V charger or replace if necessary.

* Ohm test the charging cable - replace if necessary.

* Test scooter with a different charger, if new charger works, replace charger.

* Check wiring in main control box assembly - replace in line relay if necessary
* If batteries, charger, and all wiring is good, replace controller PCB. (Note the model number for the PCB, for example 1208-2330.)

I have a Payne gas furnace that is 23 years old. The unit ignites, blower motor runs for 3-4 minutes, shuts down, comes back on for 10-15 seconds turns off and comes back on for 10-15 seconds- any help?

You have a bad fan limit switch find the one that looks like yours and has the same length tube on it and after that there all universal its real simple to replace just 4 wires 2 low voltage on the limit side and 2 high voltage on the fan side instructions will come with. To remove the old one just take off cover remove screws and wires and pull it out where the wires connect you will see little metal slots above or below the wire just push it in with a little screw driver and pull the wire out. Here is a link to a web site I buy parts from. Their real fair on price and fast with ship
