Is Your Ballast DEAD? How to Test a Fluorescent Light Ballast with a Multimeter

If your fluorescent light is flicking or won't turn on, the issue could be a faulty electronic ballast. In this video, I provide a quick guide on how to test an electronic ballast using a multimeter. I demonstrate how to check for continuity and explain the importance of a high resistance reading at the incoming 240-volt terminal. I also show how to access and test the pins to ensure there's no short circuit, which would indicate a fried ballast.
