Can your buddy test the ballast for you to see if it is working?

Also, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Odessa fixtures are not known for their performance. I'm sure somebody will chime in about what is not good about them, but I know they can be very problematic

They are different prices, depending on the manufacturer, but I do know you need it to match the other parts in the fixture. Be sure to ask here for specifics on what you would need to purchase if you must replace it!!
Safety first!!

If you did some even a haphazard search on that brand before you purchased, i doubt you would have gone ahead with the deal... oh well....

Solution to the problem...

Hi Gancho!

Perhaps you need to buy a new product. Seems like the one you have is not a good one.

Ya tu sabes...:splitspin
