Azuga troubleshooting, from no lights to no video

What Azuga says to try when a device is dark, will not lock, will not pair or will not record, and what we check first.

Start with what you can see. The lights, the portal status and the last place the vehicle was parked answer most of the questions. This page lists the symptoms Azuga documents, what it says to try, and where we would look next. Device-specific patterns are on each technical page.

SymptomWhat Azuga says to tryWhere it is documented
No lights when plugged inUnplug, wait five minutes, plug back in. When green is solid turn the ignition on and drive two to three minutes. Try the tracker in another vehicle. Check OBD pins 4 and 16 and the power between them.Azuga no-light article
GPS will not lockMove out of a garage or parking deck. Drive a few minutes in the open.Azuga "is it working" article
Frequent disconnectsCheck for a loose or damaged OBD-II or hardwired connection first. Wait 15 to 30 minutes after a new install. Make sure the ignition is on.ServiceTitan Fleet Pro page for Azuga hardware
Red light blinking every 2 secondsA component failed, or the install failed. Repeat the install steps.Azuga cheat sheet
Tracker works, camera will not pairCheck the tracker is 4G LTE (DCM970 prefix). Older 3G units must be replaced.AI SafetyCam guide
Camera shows Offline or No StatusNo Status means no data: a failed install, poor network, lost power, or never connected.SafetyCam status article
Camera events do not triggerCheck lens alignment first. Azuga warns that misaligned lenses stop events.SafetyCam Plus and Pro guide
Standalone camera will not turn onCheck vehicle association, the install and the network, then the status report, then support.Azuga article
No videos on a cameraCheck association, install, that there was a recent trip, and the status report.Azuga article
Live stream failsCheck association, install and network. Auxiliary camera feeds do not stream with the ignition off.Azuga article
Asset tracker shows nothingConfirm it was activated, then check Admin, Devices, activation status. Allow 5 to 10 minutes after movement for the GL502. A ServiceTitan copy of the GV620MG guide says a first ping can take several hours.GL502 guide

A simple order of checks

  1. Power. Is there constant power, and for hardwired units is the ignition wire switching? Use a meter, not a guess.
  2. Sky. Is the vehicle in a garage, a deck or a yard with no sky? GPS will not lock there.
  3. Carrier. Is the cellular side up? Azuga's stage article says amber blinking for about five minutes and then solid red means the carrier is connected and the GPS is not.
  4. Registration. Was the serial number matched to a vehicle record, and is the name unique?
  5. Port. For a plug-in, try another vehicle to learn whether the tracker or the port is the problem.

Software and coverage questions

Alert settings, speed-limit data, map pins and app behavior are software settings, and no cable will change them. Cellular coverage also varies from place to place. For those questions, contact Azuga support. Their address in the help center is customercare@azuga.com.

What to have ready before you call support

  • The serial number of the device and the name of the vehicle record it is matched to.
  • What the lights did when the unit was plugged in or powered up, written down before anything is unplugged.
  • The last time the vehicle reported in the portal, and where it was parked.
  • What changed just before the problem: a new install, a battery change, a repair or a different driver.

A short record like that lets Azuga support or your installer go straight to the cause. It also helps when the same vehicle needs a visit later, because the history is already written down.

Our take

Most of the fixes on this page are one of three things: power, sky or registration. Check those three before you swap a unit, and write down what the lights did before you unplug anything.
