Quick Guide to Troubleshooting Neon Signs

To troubleshoot your neon sign, please check the following:

  1. Make sure the Power Adapter's signal light is on. Replace the Power Adapter if it isn't.
  2. Check to see if the wire terminals at the wire's output point are loose.
  3. Remove the dimmer and connect the Power Adapter directly to the power cord. The dimmer may be faulty if the sign still doesn't light up.
