This guide will help you troubleshoot the issue, identify possible causes behind the device not powering up, and understand when to contact Bigmate Support for further assistance.
Check Power Connections
Begin by ensuring all cables and connectors between the tracker and the vehicle are securely attached. Inspect the following: loose wiring, damaged connectors, or dirt and corrosion at connection points. A secure and clean connection is crucial for the tracker to receive continuous power from the vehicle’s electrical system.
Examine the Tracker LEDs
Observe the tracker’s status LEDs. No lights typically indicate a power failure. If LEDs are present, note their colour and flashing patterns, as this can help diagnose faults. Record these details to assist our support team if further help is needed.
