Should I see the light?

Former Member

I have had my first FEC100 for about 2 years. And bought the second about back in the spring to be able to have two for comps.

Well the first has back light on the readout, and works fine and is easy to read at night. But the new one does not have a light and I must use a flash light or kick on the trailer lights to read it.

Is it broken or has there been a change in the units from then till now. Both are the new digital units. And I love them. But I would like to know.

I have not called any one yet. And this is not a jab at anyone.

just got mine last week. Built 11/19/08. Has the backlight. It's not too fond of cold weather tho. Last night I had to get the better halfs hair dryer on the controller about 3 minutes to warm it up to work. Once programed...it worked like a charm. Not sure if this helps but best of luck!

I know there were version they went through with the IQ and probably you just have a different LCD.

Call CS, I'll bet they send you a new display (can you change them?), let us know.

Thanks for the info Smokin, I've been so tired up at work by the time I think to call they are closed.

Coach, my first FEC100 and my FEC500 both were mount on a trailer with a roof. And they were always out side and I've not really had that issue with the cold. Or at least in the 30 degree range here.

Thanks guys.
