I have a tamiya TLU-01 light kit and it dosent light up. I pluged it in to the battry and the esc. It still lets me drive but no lights I paid 37$ for this thing and i hope that this isint common that after a while these things just crap out
can any one help?
thanks in advance.

stupid question but did you turn it on lol

lol yeah I did I even opend it up to see if it had blown a risistor but no such luck

bump!

Does the red light come on when you flick the switch?

If the battery powers the ESC but not your TLU-01, then you know the fault to be between the TLU-01 and it's connection to your power supply. If it powers up but does not light the LED's then it's either something electrical inside the unit or something to do with the LED's themselves.

It could be a million and one things preventing it from working, but it's more than likely something simple. Check for loose and/or damaged wires connecting the unit to the battery and from the unit to the LED's etc.

Is this a new unit ? Or a used one from eBay so you don't have any kind of warranty etc ? If from eBay, did the seller say it was in good condition and/or in working order ?

thank you for all your help I checked again couldent find any with wrong with it so scince I bought it new I called tamiya and they said to send it in and they will either replace it or repair it
