Troubleshooting Steps
- Press the Door Sensor button and watch for the LED.
- If the LED comes on, it is a pairing issue. Email support@fleetpulse.com with a photo of the Door Sensor MAC address and the CargoView serial # plate. Hold down the button until the LED stops flashing (DO NOT hold the button for over 10 seconds. This will put it back into ship mode, and it will not report).
- If the LED does not come on, open the device with a tri-tip screwdriver.
- Test the batteries for at least 3V combined.
- If the batteries are good, gently pull up the battery tabs to make better contact with the circuit board (see photo).
- If the batteries are bad, replace them with 2 AA lithium-ion batteries.
- Replace the device cover and click the button to confirm LED activity. Hold the button down to ensure the LED stops flashing afterward (DO NOT hold the button for over 10 seconds). Email support@fleetpulse.com to verify the repair.

IMPORTANT FINAL STEP
Make sure the Door Sensor LED isn't flashing when you finish troubleshooting, or the battery will drain quickly.
Hold down the button for 6 seconds and ensure the LED stops flashing. But DO NOT hold the button for over 10 seconds.
