Try checking any fuses between the hookup and the reciever. Also be sure that the receiver didn't get wet. Mine got wet and stopped working and I had to order a new kit.

Unfortunately the same thing happened to mine. I could get it to come on from time to time if I let it reset itself but it always would cut itself back off and get the same flashing light. Do some google research on the issue and there are a few things out there that people said to try but nothing worked for me. hate to be the bearer of bad news but it may be time to get a new one if you are out of warranty. I couldn't find any repair solutions that were cheaper than buying a new unit.

Nope... sounds like it is defective. The power requirements are the same as a 100W incadescent (even less than actually). Just contact Amazon (or the seller) and let them know and they should send you a new one (and pay for shipping the old one back).

I'm having the same problem. (-1 displaying instead of battery voltage) Battery appears to be charging. Voltage at battery was mid to high thirteen volt range with panel hooked up, and mid to high 12 volt range with panel disconnected. Battery level is up after a day of charging. Battety load tested good at RV center during spring check up.

I have not had my light that long...prehaps the rechargeable battery is the problem. Have you contacted the makers of the light?? I don't remember if it had a certain life of the battery when I bought mine.

Sorry but you have to test The circuit maybe The battery is dead try with another battery. Mine is weak it only light 3 hours.

Well, Chad. The ones i bought work Perfect, No Issues. Sounds like your problem could be a Ground Issue? I guess i would hook them up, one at a time, to a good 12volt battery. makeing sure if the problem follows the same light. then...take that light apart and look for any possible Faults?

I have two strips running off one dash light in my car which operates on a 12 volt battery(this isnt to say that the strips are getting all 12 volts). if i had my tools on me i would run out and open it up again to measure for you.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.

Sorry to hear that!.. I thought it was very easy to install and my battery was fully charged and it worked fine. Make sure it's hooked to the battery correctly and the battery is charged. If not it might be defective :(

Yeah the rechargeable batteries may be dead.. You can replace them with new battery. Make sure u get the rechargeable once.. If that not work that is light is done. Buy a new one..

Heyy, try using just a regular battery. Positive is red or with a code written on it and negative is the solid black. I tested all before installing and only one didn't work. Hope this helps :)

Unfortunately, I think your unit, like mine is DOA. This unit charged all lights and then I took it off the charge and it did nothing. DEAD!

My battery tester works fine. Making sure the battery is laying on the flat metal area than pushing it against the metal wire-like strip should give you a read out. If no action, request a replacement.

New batteries, flush it out. Or maybe that part of it just burnt out. Sorry..

Dear Kenneth, Thank you for your message. There should be a built in charger in your system that is charging the battery. If you have the battery for a long time and it is not working, most likely the problem is with the battery not the charger. If you are sure that the issue is with the charger, then most likely you need a 12v 2amp charger. Unfortunately I wasnt able to find one with the model number you have provided us with. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

I am not sure why the box shorted out within moments of the installation. I would check the input voltage, that is, the power source where you are hooking it up to ensure that it isn't overvoltage. Also, the control box handles the 12V and distributes the voltage to the lights, as well as determines the sequence in which to turn the lights on and off (flash alternating, strobe, all flash). If you just hook the lights up directly you will make them turn on. But without something the control the light sequence, they will only stay on constantly. No flash. No strobe.
