Mitchelljared:
I found out one of my problems is a broken pin in one of the lights. Corroded!
So, for sure one light isn't any good. If the system is setup like a normal 2 light flourescent, then when one goes, the other has trouble staring up, or cannot startup.
Do you have any corrosion around the lamp connector?
About comming to Van, I seldom go there and, Tom R, who is in my area, has offered his lamps for me to at least try, so I will do that. But thank you very much for offering your lamps.
Once I get mine running, if indeed it is the lamps, then I will have a better understanding of the insides, (could check where and how much voltage is present) then maybe we could check out your system.

Cool, no worries, I hope it works out for you. Ours had some corrosion, and we just replaced the caps...that made the other two lights work. So got three total...now just am going to try and re-wire the entire thing tomorrow, and see what happens. I think I'm right...
