Dyson Animal V6 flashing blue and red?

two faults, mainly battery.

A flashing blue light indicates that there is no power, please charge the battery. A flashing amber light indicates that there is no power or a temporary fault (e.g. too hot/cold). A flashing red light indicates that there is a fault, please call the Dyson Helpline.

My dyson v6 wont charge. I put it on to charge but the light does not come on.

Usually the Charger when no lights appear. If it’s the battery you do get a blue red or amber light.

When I push the power button on my dc16 animal nothing turns on but a little red light by the red switch.

Hey Josh. According to the manual I found at this URL:
http://media.dyson.com/downloads/us/floorcare/manuals/dc16_opmanual_usa.pdf
the red light that comes on when you try to use the unit indicates that the battery is fully discharged. When you plug the unit in to charge it, the same red light should be blinking to indicate the battery is in the process of charging.
Take a look at this and let me know if you are still having issues with the unit running, as there might be a problem with the wiring from the battery to the motor.

My hand held Dyson vacuum will not charge. Every time I attempt to us it I get 3 charge light on the side flash?

My same symptoms are - after starting charge, Red light is on, then second light turns On. Then for a long time nothing happens. And later I have all three LED flashing.
I replaced battery and nothing changed.

Imeasured Power Supply voltage and found it 24.2v instead 28v as it stated on the label.

I opened it up and found that the three-lid chip marked 431 is faulty.
431 is a voltage shunt, which sets and controls output voltage.
You can use AIC431CUS or TL432 (TL431 has different pinout).
I replaced mine and volatge back to 28.25v and charger is now working as it should.

You can also use any TO-92 431 chip - there is enough room for it.

Good luck!
