Thread: Why would Traxide LED suddenly start red/green flashing?

Not having driven the car for 3 or 4 days should I set the switch towards the led, or away from it?
cheers

Hi David and NO, leave the switch where it is.

Because of the overcast weather, if keeps up, try idling your motor for a while ( 30 minutes ) and this should ( roughly ) put back as much as you would use in a 24 hour period.

OR, a 1 hour drive would near fully charge both batteries.
