📍 General Troubleshooting Steps

1.✅ Check Placement

If the tracker is installed in a vehicle parked inside a garage, the GPS signal may be obstructed.


Move the vehicle outdoors or to an open area to improve signal reception.

Also, consider where inside the vehicle the tracker is installed:

  • Best: Under the dashboard with minimal obstruction

  • Avoid: Deep under the seat, in the glove box, or surrounded by heavy metal structures, as these can weaken the GPS and cellular signals.

2. 🔋 Make Sure the Device Is Getting Power

  • Look for the red LED light when the tracker is plugged in — this confirms it’s receiving power.

If there’s no red LED:

  1. Uninstall the wiring harness and reinstall it to ensure proper connection to the power source.

  2. If available, use a volt meter to check the harness. It should be providing at least 12 volts.

  3. If still no power, try installing the tracker in a different vehicle to rule out a wiring or outlet issue.
