Use an ohm meter to check hot to hot and ground to ground. That shows if either leg has an open. Also check hot to ground for a short. If that does not make sense then nevermind. I’ve gotten several brand new cords that were bad. It happens.
check inside of the booster pack to make sure a security tag isnt blocking a connection, then inspect the cable to make sure its not nicked or crimped anywhere - if you have another cable, try that or plug the bank into another camera to rule of if its the camera or bank with the issue.
was the panel charged when you put it out? there's a tab on the back you can open to see if it's charged, charging or low - if it went right form the box to the field it may need a couple days to charge up .
It sat in direct sun for a good 15 hours before being deployed, all lights indicated good. I am betting I forgot to plug it in. It was one of those deals where I spent hours contemplating and planning, 1 mile hike to go half that distance, ready to arm and forgot the sd card, hike back to truck, realize I had one in my pocket, hike back and still forgot a security tie. Four more trips and I will get it right.
Turns out that there were small paper tags on the inside bottom of each power bank that I never knew were there. I removed them and everything works fine now. Thanks very much for the help!
