Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Controller power LED (amber colored LED) does not work when I plug Controller into selected vehicle 12 volt port?
A1. This could mean the 12 volt port only receives power when the vehicle ignition is turned on. Or, the Controller fuse needs replacement. The fuse is located in the front pin area of Controller (unscrew cap, remove fuse and check fuse element visually) replace if necessary. Replacement fuses (2 Amp) are readily available at many automotive parts retailers.
