Anyone have the same problem I have where the probes fall off of the front and don't give a clear path for the volt to take?

yes mine did the same thing, the probe fell off and never worked again, it happened 4 or 5 days after i bought it

As of now I haven't had that issue. I know your not supposed to test it for more than 1 second bursts if it's not on somebody or it can damage or melt the probes off...

I usually bend the probes into the flashlight then lightly tap it agents a wall of some sort.

mine was like that too. there is a nut under the front panel. you need to take the panel and tighten the nut

The only time I got an alarm is when I had the leads inserted into the wrong hole. Double-check that the probe wires are correct: if you are trying to measure resistance, make sure that you don't have one plugged into the current port, or something like that.

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE A SOLUTION!! Put the nose of the batter in at a DOWNWARDS ANGLE. catching just the front hooks to secure in place. Charger then recognizes it. the problem is the connectors are two short for the battery. if you put the battery in at a angle, works perfectly fine.

The chargewr pulls out from the handle. You then stick the prongs into a electrical receptacle on your wall. I had this same problem until I figured it out.

Yes. Mine did the same thing. I tested the batterie and found the two in the front weren't as strong as the ones in the back. I rotated them front to back and charged them and the gauge has worked every since. Hope this works for you.

Only thought I have is that you have the polarity reversed on the battery leads. If the leads are correct, the controller is faulty.

I own two of these units with no such problems. Possibly the wire on yours may have gotten pinched there by shorting itself out.

I've found dumping the belt sensors works. I had the same problem. None sense then.

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

I had the same problem. The insulation on the wiring did not keep it cool causing it to melt then the wiring melted together. I cut out the connector and hard wired the positive to positive and negative to negative seperately and insulated them very heavily. I am now keeping "ALL" the wiring away from eachother to make sure that never happens again. I hand-made a bracket to keep the controler away from the battery to eliminate some of the heat problem and it seems to be working. Good luck.

I have the same problem. I can sometimes adjust the transmitter power to get around it. It's a good case of "you get what you pay for." It's a cheap meter--cheaply made.

Am sorry to hear one of the balls fell off. We never had any issues with the unit left in California nor the one we have now in Portland. My engineer husband suggests you contact the Prodyne folks for an additional ball, as parts like these are generally custom and would be somewhat expensive to replace. Good luck! Rebecca

Sounds like a loose wire. I did have another brand of led side marker light that did that. After I tried everything I reversed polarity and it worked. Just a though if you haven't found the cause.

The cable might be loose inside the panels. Remove licence plate and cover. Need a special tool to remove latch. Hard to find. Made one myself. Its a ?shape with top pointing straight insted of down. Hope this helps

are you buying the right probe for the right machine? I am on my second probe in 3 years, and still have 2 on the shelf. Is the battery weak? I have never had a problem.

The 2 probes are nuts that come off. The probes themselves actually screw off.
