View Full Version : Those who have an IceCap 660 VHO Ballast

I aquired a used 660 ballast but the harness is in bad shape, some of the wiring has come loose from the molex connector. I've tried to find a detailed image or diagram of the wiring from the harness itself but have come up short.

Has anyone ever come across the harness diagram? Would anyone be willing to snap a pic of their harness or post the color pattern?

TIA

Louis, I have a new one that I was going to hook up this weekend.

Sweet, would you mind snapping a pic of the molex connector or posting the color pattern connected to it?

Thanks Gary!

Louis,

If you haven't got this figured out I found a spare 660 harness. I realized yesterday I was looking at a 440 harness when we talked.

I've needed this same information a few times in the past and have even posted it here on the board... but for some reason I cant find it?
Is the maast history complete or is there some data missing, I totally cannot find it.

Brett, I believe all the history should be in-tact? Chris did restrict the search engine date range at one time due to site performance, but removed the restriction awhile back. He could have put this back due to recent probs, but I don't think so?

As quoted from an icecap official:



Starting on the bottom row from the left-----
Black - Green - White - OPEN SPACE - Orange - Yellow - Red - Purple

Top Row from the left----
Orange - Blue - Blue - Red - Yellow - Brown - Brown - Purple


Gary, if you have a spare I would love to try it out.

Louis,

Did you find a local supplier that carries the molex connectors? I'll give you a call today.

Thanks for the link Russel.

I think I can find the connectors and the pins at atex, just gotta find out where they moved to. I may just take the existing one I have and solder the connections. The ballast will not fire the bulbs even when all wires are in their place and connected properly.

Maybe a case of bad ballast? I'll keep you posted.

ATEX Electronics. Use to be down the street from Aquatic Warehouse. I believe is owned by the same group as ALTEX. Louis, I think they moved to a place off of Broadway, outside of 410 by the airport. We had a flyer at work on where they moved to but cannot find it. Atex will have a better chance of carrying that connector than Altex will.

And if you do find those connectors, let me know. My Icecap 440 molex connector is a POS. I need to rewire it.
