Ctek 250 Question
- Thread starter saltychef_roamer
- Start date
The green stand by light is still on flashing etc it’s the bottom two on the right both orange they are not flashing but staying on orange when the motor is running the solar is a 130 w single panel
No the green light is flashing when the van is off then comes on as normal when it comes on the a is orange and the bat is orange but the solar is blank
It was all working green lights etc untill I put the solar on yesterday but the van hasn’t moved in 10 days is the orange to say it’s charging the van bat or is it f***ed up
No not sure how to crap with electricity all I did was + to ctek -to ctek and plugged her in
The a on the ctek is flashing orange but the bat is orange no flash
In none of the scenarios in the manual should the orange 'A' light flash. It's either on steady or not lit. The only light that flashes is the green power light. If its on steady then the unit is working, if it's flashing then the CTEK is in standby
The a on the ctek is def flashing orange the standby light is flashing as usual
No I fitted it it came from sunshine if that’s any help no power going to the back ie been used
Is this the one ? ,

Yes that’s the bad boy could it mean that the leisure battery if fully charged not one light on for the solar panel on the ctek
Your open circuit is under the max amount so that's good , as above states there shouldn't be eny flashing orange lights , also if your battery is fully charged then you should have a steady orange light on the A if your engine is running and a steady orange on the solar if there is sunlight and you battery light will stay off if fully charged as it will be in trickle mode
Not great I know!
In that pic the solar panel is not charging the battery but the alternator is. But it’s not sunny so I wouldn’t expect the solar to be charging the battery. Have you checked the connections at the solar panel end, can you disconnect it and measure the voltage it’s outputting.
Yeah yer right lol , I can only see one negative cable but possibly it is there but can't see it , can you confirm you have wired it like the diagram below , also I can see your green light and orange A light and orange battery light , can you confirm your engine is on at time of the pic and also they 3 lights mentioned are not flashing
