I have a 2 year old 1000w mechanical ballast that is having an problem. Every so often the light goes out, in a few minutes it comes back on or if I unplug and plug it back in it comes back on. There are 3 components to these ballasts, the starter a capacitor & the coil. Its either the starter or the capacitor. I've opened up the cover and there are no external indications on which one it may be. I'm thinking Capacitor but sure as shit if I go buy it It won't be the piece that's causing problems it'll be the starter......I'd rather buy just one piece if I can....Has this happened to any of you or can help diagnose this problem?
