Default BU - 36 volt charge indicator????

Ok I got this charge indicator from BU.


Mounted it up on my G8 and nothing... it shows no charge (brand new batteries, new wiring, etc). Per the directions On the back of this is 4 posts. 1 is positive off of battery 1, 2 is neg off battery 2, post 3 is not used and 4 is positive off the switch.

So I direct wired it to the batteries (1 and 4 both to battery 1 pos) and 2 to neg on battery 2, nothing...

Anyone else have this? I got two of these and neither work.

Is this an LED indicator? If so I remember making a jumper wire between 1 and 4 and connecting this to the positive battery post which the charger inlet also connects to...and then the neg which also connects to the charger inlet connected to 2 . 3 was not used. Use your tester and find the only two posts which read 36+ volts. That is where this thing connects. It can be wired to the switch but is not needed as they draw a very very small amount of juice.

Send it back. Ask for a refund and buy a Curtis. That one looks like a cheap chinese curtis knockoff.
