If a 12V device isn't working, there are a few things you can check. Initially, verify that the circuit breaker for the device is in the OFF position and switch it to ON. If that's not the issue, the battery might be weak or dead; try changing the battery selection switch position (if available) or charge the battery. Lastly, there could be a faulty electrical connection; inspect the 12V connections and tighten or repair them as needed.
