Van is correct.
If it's LED it has a diode and has to be wired one way.

Not LED, the pole light has red, green and and a white auxilary on a switch on the pole light. I thought West Marine and I had figured this out, because I bought the two post base and they had to order the matching pole light. It fit perfectly and I never noticed it had 3 female connections, so I picked up the 3 wire base and damn if it too won't work. I would think only having two wires from my panel would make a difference, figured I could combine the bow and auxiliary together or ignore the auxiliary wired all together, not matter how I wire stuff up and I can't get it working and I have 12v everytime I check. clearly im no electrician, does this require I pull a 3rd wire?

I'm thinking the wire is just intake enough to show 12V, but not intake enough to light the lamp; probably need to pull new wire.

Stumped.
Hard to help over the internet.

One feed wire should be plenty to run several lights.
Does not make sense.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
