Last night I did some repair on my trim system and installed the new REL-2 relay, went up for a quick flight and noticed my wing strobe lights not working. Got back to hanger, pulled the wingtips and everything looked fine. Pulled the rear fuselage bulkhead and everything looked well connected. My rudder strobe is still working but I find it hard to believe that both wing strobes went out. I have it set up so that the rudder strobe fires, then both wing tips.
Anyone out there that can help trouble shoot this? I'm suspecting the power supply. Is there a way to check that the wing strobes are OK? I guess I can plug them into the rudder strobe outlet. Was wondering if there was a way to use a multimeter to check strobe lights? I have 221 hours on the plane. How long should the strobe light last? Noticed Van's sells replacements for $66. OK, that is enough with the questions.
Tried calling Whelen but I just get voicemail boxes. You guys are way smarter anyway.
