No red light on power cord

Kr@cken

I read on another forum that there is a red light on the 2020 T@B 320. I see where that little light should be but as far as I can remember I have never seen it light up.There was also mention of a blue light at the other end and I am not seeing that either. Everything seems to be charging but should I be concerned about the light issue. I don’t remember reading anything about that in the manual and my intro at the dealers was no more than 15 minutes so this wasn’t mentioned. Thanks for any advice.

Those LEDs do fail pretty easily. As long as you have power when you plug in the cable, I wouldn’t worry over it.

On our 2016 T@B 320, the blue light on the plug end of the cable quit about 3 years ago. The red light on the end that plugs into the trailer is still working (knock on wood). Everything works as normal when plugged in.

Thanks for your reassurance.

Thanks for this thread!  I just plugged in at home.  Dogbone and surge suppressor lights are on, but, for the first time, the red light on the power cable did not come on.  I turned on the battery disconnect switch and the monitor instantly jumped up from 12.6 to over 13, so I assume all is well.  **gulp**  :#

Whenever you plug a power cable in, or connect a solar panel to the battery, the little monitor inside the trailer will jump into the "13V" range to indicate charging is taking place.  So, yes, your charging is working.

Call me AR but, not too often: butt, I would like to replace that red light. I find it handy for what I believe is the very reason it is there - to confirm power is at the plug, at the plug. Savvy?

LOL,  

Those RV-30Amp-Power-Cables tend to have molded rubber(?) housings.

Your best options are to:
1 ] - - Ignore the dead LED
2 ] - - Find a different "power on" indicator for your "" AR ""
