Ctek 250 Question

Yeah yer right lol , I can only see one negative cable but possibly it is there but can't see it , can you confirm you have wired it like the diagram below , also I can see your green light and orange A light and orange battery light , can you confirm your engine is on at time of the pic and also they 3 lights mentioned are not flashing
Yes I know shit picture, will get the seat out tomorrow and do it right. Yes it’s set up just like the diagram, theirs a 2 negative but can’t be seen in the picture the van was running when taking the photo, the a light was the one what was flashing around 6-7 seconds intervals
 
Are you able to do what deaky has suggested to test that the pannel is actually given a voltage , obviously when the sun is out lol ,need a wee volt meter , plenty of videos on YouTube how to use one , also the amber light shouldn't flash when working so it would be good if you could also check the voltage on the A terminal on the ctek with engine on to see if when it flashes what voltage it shows
 
In that pic the solar panel is not charging the battery but the alternator is. But it’s not sunny so I wouldn’t expect the solar to be charging the battery. Have you checked the connections at the solar panel end, can you disconnect it and measure the voltage it’s outputting.
If someone can tell me what to do yes
 
Here is a wee video how to , I tried to find a how to from dellmassive but couldn't see one unfortunately

Lol ,sorry buddy ,I actually thought it was a good question , ano both solar and battery in can work at the same time but if auxiliary battery is fully charged and engine was running , would it mibi just the solar off , does look like solar panel is working

Well that light combo means the leisure battery is being charged by the alternator. If the leisure battery was full then the battery light would be off. Looks to me like solar isn’t working. It would be good to get a voltage reading from the -ve and solar input posts on the CTEK while everything is connected up.

Yes the motor was running, and I’ve it sorted now and working just the monitor to do to the starter battery. Thanks for the information guys
