Traxide SC80 possibly dead - how to diagnose.

**loanrangie** · 21st August 2025, 04:34 PM

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.

Thanks Tim, I will diagnose as far as I can first.

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.
