7.2 Troubleshooting guide 

Problem and Symptoms 

Possible Cause  

Solution 

No output voltage, red LED blinking 
fast  

High input voltage 

Make sure that inverter is connected to 12 
V battery.  Check regulation of charging 
system. 

No output voltage, red LED blinking 
slowly 

Poor DC wiring, poor 
battery condition. 

Use proper cable and make solid 
connections.  Use new battery. 

No output voltage, load in excess of: 
150 W.  Red LED blinking 
intermittently 

Thermal shutdown 

Allow inverter to cool off.  Reduce load if 
continuous operation required. 

No output voltage, load less than: 
150 W.  Red LED blinking 
intermittently 

Thermal shutdown 

Improve ventilation, make sure ventilation 
openings in inverter are not obstructed, 
reduce ambient temperature. 

No output voltage, red LED solid 

Overload 

Reduce load 

 

No output voltage, red LED blinking 
slowly  

Low input voltage 

Recharge battery, check connections and 
cable. 

Inverter switched off.  
No power to inverter 

Turn inverter ON.  Check wiring to inverter. 

Car lighter fuse open 

Replace 

Internal fuse open 

Have qualified service technician check and 
replace. 

No output voltage, previous solutions 
are not working 

Reverse DC polarity 

Have qualified service technician check and 
replace fuse, OBSERVE CORRECT 
POLARITY. 

No output voltage, Over Load 
indicator ON. 

Short circuit or wiring 
error. 

Check AC wiring for short circuit or 
improper polarity (hot and neutral reversed). 

 

8. Maintenance 

Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. You should 
clean the exterior of the unit periodically with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of 
dust and dirt. At the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals. 
 

9. Warranty 

We warrant this product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two 
years from the date of purchase and will repair or replace any defective Go Power! 
Inverter when directly returned, postage prepaid, to manufacturer. This warranty will be 
considered void if the unit has suffered any obvious physical damage or alteration either 
internally or externally and does not cover damage arising from improper use such as 
plugging the unit into an unsuitable power sources, attempting to operate products with 
excessive power consumption requirements, reverse polarity, or use in unsuitable 
climates. 
 
This is the only warranty and the company makes no other warranties, express or implied, 
including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.  Repair or 
replacement are your sole remedies and shall not be liable for damages, whether direct, 
incidental, special or consequential, even though cause by negligence or other fault.
