My aux battery was dying so i disconnected the earth lead to the SC80 so it wouldn't pull the main battery down, just changed the aux battery and reconnected the earth and the LED is not lit or flashing like it usually does.
I crimped new connectors onto the lead so that i could just unplug it instead of undoing the bolt for the earth lead, checked the connections and they seem good.

Hi Loanrangie, that is a practice used by hundreds of customers, so not sure what is going on.
If you can't get it to work, it is under warranty, so send it back to me.

Hi Tim, i removed the terminal from the earth lead so i had a bare wire and tried earthing it with no change, also bypassed the circuit breaker in case it failed but again no change so i think i will need to send it to you for evaluation/repair.

I forgot i had the receipt, it actually made it to Dalby PO yesterday morning.
Thats what you would expect for a well functioning postal service, not aussie post [bigrolf]

To be fair, Aussie Post do a pretty good job. It all falls apart at the seams when the blue mob get involved.

So time for a few to eat Crow.
This morning started with a phone call from my local post office enquiring about a parcel with Traxide Tronics on it, but it had gone to another PO Box.
NOTE, not Australia Posts Fault.
It seems the sender had put the wrong box number on the parcel.
But thanks to an honest Dalby person, who returned it to the Post Office and then the Post Office worked out where it should have gone and notified us of its arrival.
Got to say this was pretty good service!

Damn no idea how i did that [bigwhistle], i copied and pasted then enlarged in word before printing it. I find the local PO's are the best part of the chain, just the inbetween that turns it to ****.

Hi Tim
I have found a similar issue over the weekend as I was trying to work out why the in cab led had stopped for a bit and I thought the aux had died. 3v coming out of the sc80. we have troubleshot before over the phone before so I'll be in touch next week?
Cheers,
the other Tim. 😎
You in Dalby now? Lucky I didn't send it to mudgeeraba!
