Need instructions manual.
There is a 1335 Farm and Ranch charger that is 200 amp. The 1235 does not say it is Farm and Ranch on the face, and is a 100 amp charger although automatic. It looks different from the 1335. I don't find a manual or the charger currently for sale on the Shumacher page but I do find you can download a manual for the SC1308 there and it physically looks like the fro1235, has the same interface controls, and is a 100 amp charger like the fro1235. I suspect the directions are the same for the interface. I have read consuer messages saying these manuals are confusing. If such is the case, you can try the customer service contact at the website. That said, these are supposed to be automatic and to not work if connectd to the wrong terminals by design.

The charging yellow light is not on when I plug
the wire at the clamps might have came off,there is a thermal fuse inside the charger also, get one at the auto parts store .bring the old one with you. OR some of the newer chargers are fussy that the battery must have some power to get the charger to turn on.. i use jumper cables to get my charger started..
DID I HELP ? VOTE . THANKS J
