Have you tried unit in another cars plug-in? There should be a fuse between the silver tip of the plug and the wires connected to it. I would determine if the plug in is bad then the plug itself. If plug in is dirty plug is not making good connection to power unit. Plug in is also protected by a fuse in your cars fuse box.

This is a common problem with the older units, the Laser horn gets dirty and out of alignment causing this issue. You can send the unit in for repair or try to fix it yourselfe

I'm sorry, but I would need more information about the specific unit you are referring to in order to provide an accurate answer. Generally speaking, the manufacturer's website or customer support line should have information on where to send a unit for service. You can also try searching for the nearest authorized service center or dealer using the manufacturer's website or a search engine. If you can provide me with more details about the unit, including the brand and model number, I may be able to provide more specific guidance.

is it going off with X Band? If so thatere is a way to put it to filter out X Band I have a Redline but it has the same features as yours just follow the manual to go and have it filter X band radar. Also K band will go off as well when you are in a city by automatic opening doors which is normal.

Sorry, dumb question, but I need to ask. The volume control on the left side is also the on/off switch, have you accidentally turned that off?
