No lights on at all on the Sargent Solar Regulator
Is it likely to have failed ? Now defunct?
Went to caravan a week ago to be greeted with a flat battery. Didn't try charging it due to its age. Approx 9 years. Went and bought brand new one and fitted it. Checked levels lights etc all great showing 12.5v on panel above door. Turned all off at power box and locked up and went home from storage. We went to restock supplies yesterday and no lights at all on Sargent Regulator in the wardrobe. No green or red lights when I have always seen them illuminated.
Could we have a regulator that's failed and no longer working? How can we tell ?
Service engineer wants £65 call out and if we buy a replacement from Sargent they are £28.
Has this happened to anyone, or has anyone any tips ?
No idea where to go now with this but definitely don't want another flat battery.
