possibly it is supposed to stay on all of the time. what do you mean by "the sound stays on all the time"? Do you mean you hear all of the garbage when the tail goes through?

What I meant was, do you hear all of the pops and thumps as the tail goes through? I guess an easier question would be, does the sound processor switch formats and do the lights come up with the showend cue? Is this a new problem? Some L.E.D.s are wired to stay on all the time.

I want to make sure I understand your situation. You want to "JAX off" between shows?

or did it always do this since the jax light installation if so I would think a wireing error

I second that on the Raven [Smile] Some of the chassis where a pain to reassemble after doing the neccessary repairs....they looked like they where designed by someone who took an oragami paper class [Roll Eyes]

I never thought of looking at them that way Richard... pretty funny! I always looked at them as just another pile of junk.
