Non-contact voltage meter shows power to lines coming from ceiling to ballast. Does not show power to yellow lines going left to bulb end fixtures or to black/blue/red wires going to right bulb end fixtures.    

Bad ballast - or does ballast change voltage so that my meter will not read it.

I would get a new ballast, looks like they are $30. That unit looks relatively new, I doubt the wires are an issue. The new ballast may even come with all new wires

Upgrade to LED and ditch the whole ballast bullshit parade

This. After changing about 6 ballast in my kitchen under counter lights I swapped them all out. Between the ballasts and the lights burning out, I’m so happy to have all that nonsense behind me.

yep, youtube process and switch to LED, basically just removing the ballast and reconnecting wires together according. 4 pack of bulbs can be had for under $40

Don’t bother swapping it. Just by an LED fixture and be done with it.

Takes longer to swap it than to convert it in most cases.

Maybe, but you’re talking a few minutes difference.

I bought a kit where i snip the ballast wires, wire hot and neutral to some magnetic box, plug wires from the box into two long magnetic strips that have the LED.   10 min install max - and I had LED lights and no tubes.   

Thanks for the no ballast replace advice.
