Status light ?
I have a set of status lights which i bought from somebody and the power light will not come on. The guy says that hes heard of some quads that will not light up until voltage drops below 10. If thats true what would cause it not to come on? THANKS

Check it and make sure you have them in the right sockets. Anytime the MCU is given power the green should be on. And continue to stay on for 60 seconds after the power is off.
If nothing else that light should be on. But on the two I have used two lights are on when you turn the key to 'run' and then one goes off after it is running. And only the 'power' led should remain on if you are having a good day.

JaspMan is correct.
When you turn the key on, the power and sensor fault LEDs should be lit.
Once running, the power LED is the only one that should be on. The power LED stays lit when the voltage is good (over 10vdc), blinks slow when the voltage falls to below 10vdc, and blinks fast when the voltage is below 9vdc.
If you are running an old version of the HEX code, the temp LED will stay lit all the time. Updating the HEX will fix this.
The document on how to wire up the LEDs is over on Cannondaler if you wanted to check things out.
Good luck.

Do you have a link to it?

Is there any way to have this set up so the light will blink if voltage goes under 12? You'll know you have a problem before the battery ever gets to 10 volts. Under 12 would leave you an opportunity to do something before it's dead.
