Ok, one of my ballast is not working :( Its an ARO 250 ballast. The diagram is on the thing and its pretty simple. (plus my brother helped.. even though its simple, I would never have figured it out... LOL)

And it will not work. It just hums and hums and hums. Anyone have any idea why its humming but bulbs not firing?

Maybe it doesn't know the words :lol

Seriously, is it an electronic or magnetic ballast? Are other ballasts also ARO and are you using the same bulbs in all of them?

Not all bulbs fire on all ballasts - E-ballasts are more "flexible" and fire most bulbs.

Otherwise, try teaching it the lyrics ;)

Electronic ballast do not hum, if it is electronic and humming there a problem with it.
