    Now that the regular driving season is coming to an end, I plugged in the ctek and turned it on. The lower yellow/orage light, which responds when you press the button to move among the different types of vehicles being charged, worked fine. But the upper row of lights which indicate if the circuit is complete and the battery is being charged or is fully charged, did not light at all. Any ideas?

    It will probably get hot to the touch if you leave it plugged in for any length of time. I just had three of mine do the same thing that you describe, one that is only six weeks old. I tried to contact the company on the new one which is still under warranty and no response. I have been told their customer service is really bad. Time will tell. I think you will be replacing your unit as well. Wish I had better news.

    Thanks. I've left it plugged in months at a time for years. Maybe I've gotten years of use out of it and should be content to just buy another.
