    Need Help... Quick... Mega 360 wiring 2nd black wire

    I’m in the middle of install and don’t know where to hook that other small black wire. Red/Black are obvious. What I do with the third? I tried powering it up without it and my solix isn’t finding 360... HELP... QUICK :(

    Did you do the software update that runs the MEGA 360?

    Do you have good power connected?

    Is the wet switch wet so it lets the MEGA 360 run?

    So I’m updating software now. Once I install it, it should find the 360 and display it on the top right hand corner correct? Or do I have to tape a penny to those sensors on top?

    You get nothing unless the wet switch is shorted by water or some other conductor. It has to recognize the MEGA 360 at least once. Getting a penny to stay in position is not as easy is it may sound, done it many times. Clean and shiny at least.
    A bucket of water is best, just don't prevent the disk from turning.

    Wet paper towel works great on wet switch.
