did you read my post saying you only bought a control for that surround sound?
I could be wrong, case i just noticed the shipping says 39.95. so maybe it is the whole thing, but under description it says (remote Control) in parentheses. so i'm not sure. man, if it really is onl the remote AND they are charging 39.95 for shipping, then it's truly a freaking scam to me, they are misleading on purpose.



but they didn't say remote control in the main listing, so i think that's an ebay violation.


if you are persistent, you can get your money back if you already paid.

i ****ing hate scammers like that. report it right away, and start your case.
 
the box says my socket is rated for up to 1500W-600 Volts and AC/CA

That's the problem.
The ignition pulse is a matter of a few kV, and the socket should be rated to accomodate this. Personally, I'd be sure to obtain a socket correctly designed for the voltage and temperature encountered in this application - surely worth doing properly for the sake of shopping around a little.
 
1. I have my 120v wire connected to black in the outlet, and the one common to the white.

There was an extra common but i just placed a wire nut on it.

I also put nuts on all the extra volt wires (seperate).



2.The capacitor: I connect one cap wire from the ballast to one side the of capacitor.

The other cap wire I connect to the other side of the capacitor. Thats it.



3.Ignitor?? (CD14): The red wire coming from the ignitor is plugged into the the red of the ballast.

The blue is connected to the blue of the ballast. The white is connected to the Common wire of the outlet

along with the ballast common.



4. Mogul Socket: The hot is connected to the red ballast and red ignitor. The common is connected to the same ballast

and ignitor common.


if you need me to i can draw a pic to help lemme know
 
maybe this will help someone
