Beech Sundowner strobe power supply location????
It is not starting out to be a great day --- Murphy is in the area
yet again. I just bought a new Whelen Comet power supply for my wingtip strobe lights. The old one works, but I really like the visibility of the Comet multi-flash. This should be a simple upgrade; just remove the old power supply, install the new one with appropriate connections and off we go. Simple? Hah! According to the C23 maintenance & service manual, the parts diagrams, and the electrical system manual the original power supply is mounted next to the battery, behind the baggage area bulkhead. Actually, the parts diagram shows it somewhere above the 3rd window. It's not there! I have looked throughout the rear area from the baggage area to the tailcone – no joy. Even looked under the panel thinking that would be logical. Wrong again. I turned the strobes on hoping to hear the tell-tale high pitched whine but still could not locate it. The aircraft is a 1983 Sundowner, serial M-2372. Before I get into pulling the seats and floorboards I thought I'd ask the experts: Where is it???? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jack Sundowner – N6363U |

I was hunting around in the wings of the Navion for other reasons and found that my wingtip strobe power supply is out next to an inspection panel about 2' from one wing tip. |

Did you try looking in the wingtips?
