They both turned out to be junk. They are made out of scraps of wire, butt-spliced internally and taped over with electrical tape. Most internal connections were connected to wires going to the wrong place. Almost nothing worked. There were also several dead short circuits connected internally.
If you have one of those, throw it in a bonfire immediately.
That is a possibility. It was just in a container with the truck. Thanks

I will check that out. I did notice that all the wires are solid colors except one.
Thanks
