So the lower black-light on my Tron isn't working. I opened it up and if I plug it into the harness for the other fixture right above it, it works fine. So it's a wiring issue apparently.

I've tried tracing the three wires back down to see where they go but they join a big thick harness of wires. Looking at all the connectors below, everything appears to be plugged in fine. So what's the simplest way to figure out which of the ones below are the right ones? Obviously they are color coded but it looks like there's about 12 of each color wire plugged in down there in various places.

I downloaded the schematics but only see one fixture listed on there so I'm missing something. I'd rather not clip off all the little zip-ties to trace it all out. Help?
 
I assume it just one wire that not connecting.
Have you used a meter with tone to figure out which group of wires are not connected?

Once you found the group of wires. A wire tone should ID that wire quickly.
Since the wire is not connected to the others only one wire should trigger the probe.
 
There's a large distribution block with yellow/green striped wires. There are two smaller distribution blocks, one with brown wires and one with blue. The wires go to all of the fixtures.

I'd guess that you'll find one of the blue or brown wires has either come off its distribution block, or the crimp connector is loose and not making good contact.

Thanks, I found it. The reason I couldn't find it even though I was looking in the right area is because it was plugged into the wrong place. Fortunately, not something that appears to have caused any damage. :) But it's working now. Thanks guys!
