Possible Causes

Burned-out LED module, Broken LED wiring harness, Failed LED driver circuit on PCB, Contaminated LED lens or housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the LED area.

  • 1. Check for physical damage: Inspect the LED lens for cracks or impact damage.
  • 2. Clean lens: Wipe dust and debris from the LED lens to ensure light is not just obscured.
  • 3. Inspect wiring (if accessible): Open the housing and trace the LED wires from the PCB to the LED module. Look for breaks or loose connectors.
  • 4. Replace LED module: If the wiring is intact but the LED does not light, replace the LED module or light board.
  • 5. PCB driver fault: If a new LED still does not work, the LED driver on the control PCB may be defective; replace the PCB if light functionality is required.
