is the red switch supposed to light up

IF there is a seperate light associated with the switch the answer is Yes, If there is not a light then the switch does not light up, they just made it out of red plastic.

Not as far as I know. Mine is a solid reddish-orange and doesn't light up like other manufactuers.

Plug is on the right side, and yes the on/off switch does illuminate red when on.

Did you push the little switch on the side? If you did, see if it lights up with the electric plug. If not then you have a defective product and should be returned.

No it does not, you have to push the button all the way in to turn on the light.

I just plug mine in the red light comes on and then I leave it there till I need to use it. Yours might be defective...

No! There is a button that you click and the light turns on! The red part does not light up by the way! I thought it did when I purchased this charger for my boyfriend but it doesn't! What came as a surprise was the bright light that came from the charging end when he accidentally clicked it! :)

I wondered too and the answer is not in the manual which is just a paragraph or two. My guess is that the red light indicates the power is on and is recharging the battery. That makes most sense.

All you have to do is connect the red cable to the positive and the black cable to the negative then turn the switch on. It should start right up

Yes it does. Right in the middle. There is a red light that shows if on or off.

Ours has the red and green lights. I wonder if you have a problem with your power source?

No, you raise it and it clicks off... lower it and it clicks on. Very noticeable click. No light though

No. It does not light up.The only lights are on the charge and wash buttons.

yes it does light up. The red and blue color are part of the unit cover and not individual colored bulbs. The unit was an exact OEM unit and has worked perfectly since I installed it. Installation was simple.

It should turn on automatically in the dark. I'm not aware of any switch that affects this so suspect it is defective.

There's no light, the switch doesn't light up. It works only as a switch, no light up function

So long as it's plugged in to charge, the red light will be on. I'd just give it a go. Mine's awesome.

I've used these a lot. No the whole thing doesn't light up. There's a small red light, but very obvious, on the right side of the front of the dinky link receiver whenever a button is pressed on your remote. You can also use the light to help tell if the receiver is picking up interference from sunlight or other sources. Search google images for 'xantech dinky link' and you can see what it looks like. The light is off on the receiver normally, so it's not annoying while watching TV.
