Does anyone know how to read the light display? I assume the two lights represent the left and right plug in parts but are red lights lit good or bad

I believe the color of the lights have no bearing on the position/sequence of the display for the wiring test

The face of the meter has a diagram of what the various lighting scenarios mean. If the left light is out and the right one is lit you have correct polarity. If the left light is lit and the right one is out you have reverse polarity. If both lights are lit the connection is open neutral and if no lights are lit the connection is open ground.

If right light is red, wiring is correct. If Left is red, it has reverse polarity. If Both are red, there is an open neutral, and if both are white, it has an open ground. I use it in my 5th wheel to check wiring at campgrounds. It has instructions right on the unit.

I've used this device for a couple of years and it's great. As for the lights, if only the left light is on then the polarity is correct. As long as the voltage is good then you should be fine. If the device has any lights on in any other configuration then there's a polarity issue at the pedestal. Also, if no lights are on there is a problem at the power pedestal / shore-line. Don't forget to check the voltage readout as well because voltage too high or too low can be a problem too. If the device shows polarity problems then unplug your RV and report it to the park office or park staff. I have found the device to be correct and if it indicated a problem I would believe it.

BOTH lights should be on for it to be properly working. It may or may not be protecting your appliance if both lights aren't on....I wouldn't take the chance since it most probably is supposed to be protecting an expensive appliance. Try another outlet to make sure the problem isn't the surge cube.

It lights up on both sides. Mine also had enough numbers to put on both sides, so they are not reversed.

The wiring was simple. Install the lights and install the signal board. But make sure you have a good voltage supplying to the light. Or else you will have problem changing its colors and getting it work properly. Trust me I had this going. Make sure your wiring is good. And you getting good voltage.

This unit has three wires, the black is the positive wire from power supply, red is positive to light, white is negative from supply to unit and to light by way of spliced wire to light from white wire. The light will still have only two wires to it. I hope this helps!

These are dual element style lights which means running lights and brake lights they use same negative and different positives it's been a while since I wired it so couldn't tell u which is which but I checked by touching the battery directly found which side was brighter and tied it into brakes other one tied into license plate light done deal

I got the 2 i ordered about 5 days ago and when it charges the led light is yellow and when its down the led light completely turns off... I never seen a red led light before... You might want to search for a online manual or check your box you received it in for details

David if you are getting the logic board for your unit it doesn't have a light on that part. The light is on the other end of the unit. Make sure you put a surge suppressor on your unit, they are very sensitive. Hope that answers your question.

The lights have a built in resistor, this can go bad giving you the exact symptoms you've described. I had the same issue.

Check the electronic eye on top of the light. I had a similar problem and it was the electronic eye. I bought a replacement at Home Depot for a little under $10 and that took care of it. Hope you can figure it out!

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

I went to look on the fuse to see if it had any numbers written on them. They have some numbers embossed on one of the ends. They are hard to read if you don't have enough light and hold them the right way. But the number reads F15AL 250V, for anyone who has the same question. (I am the same person that asked the question, but on a friend's account since I can't answer my own question.)

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.

Return the item. I had the same issue with the light I purchased or call Amazon.

Mine has RED indicator lights also. I haven't used it often but it seems to work fine.

I'd say it means you have a bad one and need to return it... I like the light, so I think if you get a good one, you'll like it too. Good luck!

The red light was lit when I first plugged it in and some months later nothing has changed. I didn't buy it for surge protection just for the outlet configuration. I say red is good in this case.
