Courtesy Light trouble after connecting LED Speakers

[iamcalled]

Hey there. So I recently replaced the rear channel speakers on my AR240 with a pair of JL M6 Led's. Per the instructions, I ran power to the yellow wire and the negative to the blue wire to create blue lights only. I ran the power by tapping in to the factory courtesy lights at the helm on each Side to minimize the amount of wire. When I have the house battery on, without the connext system on, every once in a while all the courtesy lights flash on and then go off. So after I noticed the lights do that a couple of times, I turned on the connext system using the light bulb button at the cockpit. When I pushed the button, all of the lights flashed again. Once the system loaded up, I went to the light menu and pushed the courtesy light button on the touchscreen. all of the lights came on including the lights in the JL's and everything looked great and the courtesy light display (red) indicated the lights were on. When I pushed the touchscreen button for the courtesy lights to turn them off, they stayed on, but the connext indicated the lights were off. I pushed the button again and the lights turned off but the connext system showed they were on (red). I hit the blower switch on then off to turn off the system and turned the aux battery switch to off and cursed all the way to the computer to type this up. Here are my main questions? 1: has anyone had this issue or a similar issue? 2a: has anyone else connected any other aux lights to the courtesy lights in the cockpit area? 2b: Did you have any issues? 2c: if you had issues, what did you do to fix the issue? Thanks Jetboaters!!

I would start by removing the LED speaker rings from the system to rule them the problem or not. Ensure polarity is proper across all connections.

I did just this and the problem still exists, so my local dealer is going to take it in in a couple weeks to cover it under warranty.

Mine does this also.

I have my Revo 6 LEDs throughout the cockpit and bow attached to the courtesy light system, just as you described. Six lighted speakers in all. I have not experienced the issues you described, and everything seems to work as intended. I'm interested in knowing what you find out through the dealer.

I have 4 hooked up, and every now and then when the courtesy lights are off, i get a blip of blue out of the LEDs. Weird...
