I AM NOT MONETIZED! Any commercials you see have nothing to do with me and they have increased since this video broke 100,000 views.
How to replace ballast when wires DO NOT MATCH what you had. No yellow wires on new ballast.
New electronic ballast use red wires for common rather than yellow. They don't have yellow wires which can be confusing to homeowners attempting DIY replacements of ballast.
Before you thumbs down, please consider the following:
My sound doesn't echo so it's pretty good considering.
I only say the non-verbal "uh" enough times to get a decent buzz if playing a drinking game to the video.
This wasn't scripted and I made it in one take.
The videography was handheld using a smartphone.
I used my 8 year old's markers, not some professional art studio pigments.
I warn people 3 times not to shock themselves into oblivion, so safety has been addressed.
I'm clear about not being an electrician. I realize 40 electricians have down thumbed me....lol
Have an awesome 2021 everyone. This little video keeps plugging away, helping one person at a time.

Right! I don't know why it's so difficult to get answers in normal English on this stuff. When I research some of these posted questions it's just as difficult each time. This isn't rocket science. Maybe there's just no industry standardization and it's all coming out of China with whatever colors they feel like wiring the tombstones inside a fixture. I don't know, will have to ask an electrician buddy at some point.

After reading more about ballasts than any layman should have to - Thank you so much for the video. When I called the store to say the "spaghetti" didn't match what the original had I was blown off with "read the directions. I did. They were utterly usless. I googled 2 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow, one white and one black ballast and TaDa! I found my solution! And yes it did work precisely as you said! THANK YOU!

@Chinookman 3 года назад

Love it Dawn. I count myself as a reasonably intelligent member of Mensa and I still cannot figure out some of these online explanations. Okay the Mensa part isn’t true. But I do have a technical bachelor’s degree, amd read extensively in physics, quantum physics, cosmology and astronomy. It’s OVERLY complicating what should be a simple subject. I need to brush up on non Euclidean geometry and knot theory as well as topology mathematics to grasp ballast wiring. Lol!

@thesteelgator Год назад

Thank you for this! Exactly what I needed to convert my T12 light fixture to T8. FYI to others: I accidentally bought a ballast with three blue wires and one red wire. However, the label on the ballast says it is good to use for 2-bulb or 3-bulb light fixtures. So, I just capped the one "extra" blue wire with a wire nut and carefully folded it aside.

@Chinookman 2 года назад

So bizarre how these ballasts seem to be color coded as whatever the manufacturer feels like doing. That’s definitely why they have diagrams that are often confusing to non electricians.

@garylong9260 Год назад

Thank you, Mr. David W.! You are a GENIOUS! Your video was simple but quite effective. My problem was opposite of your drawing. The 4 wires were on the ballast instead of the fixture. I had my doubts, but in the video you said "trust me it will work". Indeed the light works. Thank you very much!

When I got home and found your video, I hadn't opened the box yet and became intrigued when I saw the old ballast in your video was the EXACT one I encountered in my fixture. After looking at your video at least 20 times (I don't know if they count multiple views by the same person or not 🙂, I had enough confidence to proceed. When I actually got around to installing it (today). It worked PERFECTLY. Thanks again, SO much. there's one or two more around the house that need new ballasts, and now I can get them all fixed!!

@Chinookman 2 года назад

Very nice. We’re all proud of you for taking on the challenge. And probably saving a few bucks. Eventually it may make sense to go LED but in the meantime a swap to electronic ballast is pretty inexpensive.

@niecra 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this instructional video. The wiring diagram on the new ballast showed the red wire going to one end of the lights and a blue wire going to each light on the other end. So, I ran a blue wire from the ballast to each of the yellows and tied the 2 red and 2 blues from the other end of the light to the red wire on the new ballast. When I tested it, it didn't blow anything although it was wired incorrectly. Thank god! But only one of the 2 bulbs would light up. I could get either light to work, but never both at the same time. That's when I found your video and rewired it.

only time explanation matched my fixture-- you're right it is counterintuitive: 1 BLUE+2 BLUE; 1BLUE +2 RED; 1(long) RED + 2 YELLOW; BLACK + BLACK; WHITE + WHITE. After wiring it thusly after many arguments, fights, nuts in the toilet, or caps down the drain, trying to put my 300lb 6'3 1/2 frame and associated hands designed for less fine work up on a ladder too big to fit between the sink cabinet and opposite wall(and still hold 300 lbs) , and lacking the contortionist ability to bend, stretch or otherwise reach from the floor to the ceiling where the new ballast attaches in a recessed rectangle that I think was designed as a sky light cavity originally, I tested it after 2 trips to HOME and one to electrical supply and when they didn't light up I immediately cursed from whence I came, throwing my tool satchel in disgust into the bathtub and stomped out. My helper/grandson yelled "You have to turn on the switch" Which he did, and they look and work perfect! Thanks!

@Chinookman 2 года назад

I’ve read everything I can find on the ‘Net about ballasts and it’s honestly a clusterfart. There’s no comprehensive explanation that accounts for how these things are wired, color coded, or determined: by various manufacturers. I can’t even find an explanation of what happens inside a ballast with multiple leads. I’m not an electrician. Just a guy who appreciates understanding some things. Occasionally I’ll try to do a deep dive and just get frustrated because NONE of my questions are being answered by what I’m reading and searches similarly come up short. I don’t have a pile of ballasts or the the time to sit with a multimeter and figure out what’s going on in a ballast. Nobody has ever posted a decent link. Not yet anyways.

Thanks so much for this video. Also, a tip for others: Don't be me. Mount the new ballast first, *then* cut the wires. My red wire was way too short, so I had to wire nut in an extra run of wire to connect the yellow wires to the red. The blue ones were a bit too short for comfort, too.

@Pjr8996 4 года назад

I found a new electronic ballast with yellow, red and blue wires just like my older ballast. The difference I see is it’s rated for more amps and is rated for larger 40T12 bulbs whereas my ballast like the one in this video is labeled for smaller T8 bulbs.
