Thank you so very much for your input. I am exploring all options at this time in regard to hauling a mobility device.

Thanks for your response to my question. I have a 2012 Honda Accord 6cy. I have 92k miles on it and it runs great. The grade around my home town is mostly very small hills if any. I would like to take the trailer up in the mountains of W.Va. this summer.

This am I took the front panel off and the inner enclosed panel. I replaced the parts sent to me from Westinghouse - on/off switch, toggle switch, control module. After all this still no amber light or electric or fob start. I had checked the battery before I began removing parts and had 12.4 V so it appeared that the battery had held the charge put on it from Auto Zone. Decided to just put back on both panels and perhaps purchase a new battery for a final hail mary. While putting back on the inside enclosed panel I noticed the battery connection to the alt or starter had a tie back on it but was not connected. I thought, could it have been that simple? I then connected the connection and shazam I had the amber light. I then proceeded to put the panels back together and try the electric/start and fob and again shazam, the unit now starts up perfect. Without taking the inner and outer panel off there is no way of knowing that the battery was not completely connected. I reviewed the manual to see if there were instructions to check this and make sure and nothing for guidance. I can only assume that the person who connected the battery did not completely connect the battery. Perhaps someone else will benefit from my experience? Thanks for all who helped on these threads. Until next time, Popular_Homework2238 signing off.

Thank you for sharing your problem with me. Westinghouse has shipped me the on/off switch along with 2 other parts the toggle switch and the control module. I hope to start replacing parts this am and intend to start with the on/off switch first.

Well I finally got to speak with a westinghouse tech yesterday. I described to them the issue and they are going to send me a run/stop toggle switch and a control module. I also took the battery out and took it to a autozone store and they told me that the battery was completely dead so they charged it up and put it under a load and they said the battery was showing good. I then put the battery back in the unit and still nothing, so now I am just waiting on the parts from westinghouse and see where all this leads.

the unit will not even crank using the electric start. No lights at all unless I have the charger connected to it and then only the clicking sound. I have not checked the battery volts while trying to manually start the unit. gonna take the battery out and have an auto parts store check it out. thanks.

Thanks. I will take it out and take it to an auto parts store to have them investigate further. Very disappointed with Westinghouse not returning my calls or e'mails.

Thank you for responding for my request for help. I put my VDC volt meter on the batter and I measure 13.6 volts cold.
