disconnect panels and batteries
and open it up ?
you have nothing to loose by looking inside
how old is it..what is the warranty
Open up what? .....the controller. Nothing to open up as there is 4 wires I think connected to the controller. Really nothing to trouble shoot.
Follow up question ...maybe dumb but will the solar panels continue to charge my batteries if the controller isn't functionong? If so what happens with an inoperative controller....overcharge of batteries or what?
It is under warranty,maybe as it has been replaced before for a totally unrelated reason.
Problem isn't warranty so much as I am in the midst of an eight week trip and need the panels ASAP.
Guess I will give Samlex a call tomorrow AM and see what they say.
