The yard got confused and took our mast down last winter when we didn't expect it. So I never got in there to label and photograph the wires before they got disconnected.
We did check the lights before the mast went back up, but the wires didn't get labeled then either.
So now the mast is back up but I can't get a single light working. I've tested the circuits and they are working as expected. What I'm less confident in is the wiring to the mast. The manual references a brown, blue and yellow positive connections and a black ground. These correspond to what I see at the bus bar coming from the panel.
From the mast I have a brown, green and yellow in a single cable, and then a black and white in another. I've tried connecting the black, white, and both to ground and sending power to each of the other leads but I get nothing.
I don't see anything else coming down from aloft.
I am wondering if this is aftermarket wiring on the mast side or it otherwise I might be missing something. Thoughts and insight appreciated.
