So I'll spare the story. It's crap. I have a break in the cord (cats) but the lights don't go out until about 5 feet from the break. Could a light be out or should I strip the wire and reconnect it?

    Is this a light set up that has alternating flashing lights or a pattern? If it is, there may be more than 2 wires in the cord. And they may be fairly small wires. LEDs don't require a lot to run them and they usually last a very long time before they burn out.
    LEDs shouldn't run in series, like the old christmas lights. So if the lights are out, there is possibly a break in the wiring somewhere. If it is more than 2 wires in the cord, I'd try fixing the break first.

    I'm gonna get back on the ladder tomorrow an see if I can fix it. They do have the flashing option but we didn't swap out fuses.

    Funny, I was just coming on to post this, too. I'd seen the thread before, but this time I read LFD.
