    Why is the Vehicle LED off on my Redarc Battery Charger?
    • J
      James AndersonAug 6, 2025
      If the 'Vehicle' LED is off even when your BCDC is connected to the vehicle, first, ensure the vehicle is running. Then, verify the voltage on the RED wire exceeds the required turn-on threshold for your setup. Finally, inspect all wiring to the Vehicle battery, paying special attention to the Ground (BLACK wire).
