Milwaukee 1/4 " impact driver has flashing red light

if the battery is older than 1 year replace the battery with a new one , also I know its difficult but try to not charge a battery till its dead , short cycle charging of battery's kills em fast if battery is less than 1yr contact Milwaukee its still under warranty

I think this would be a new trade-in machine because of the brushless motor and the marketing technical change of the brand Milwaukee repair is in most cases if it has to do by this brushless tools not interesting anymore to repair or let it repair by milwaukee service only if there is garantee ,but for the end user only there are great new trade-in options and the garantee time should also be transparant and great.
Milwaukee will have repairs in ther own garantee and is not interesting in the between trade when its coming for repairs by others that likes it will ending by competition in service by garantee
as between the big brands mutually.

If it's the white work light ? Has someone worked on it recently ? Does the work light go off when pulling trigger? Are the forward and reverse switched ? It could be the blk and red wires on the brush card assembly are switched.

Black is your hot wire, white is your common ground, and Green is your Ground. Be careful and make sure the switch is designed for A/C power

The first fuel impacts they made are very sensitive to water . Mine stopped instantly after some water flowed in around the head area.

Hi,
Is the battery hot or cold??? either temp. extreme will do that...

otherwise the battery is shorted internally and so the charger will not charge it...the battery will need to be replaced.

Sounds like a new unit take it back where you purchased it and they will give you new one do not take no for an answer.

The only reason a battery powered device slows down is that it's not getting the appropriate voltage from the battery. Your m18 has a lithium-ion battery that when topped off, and for what should be a good long work-period, deliver 18vdc to the motor. Unfortunately, some of the earlier m18 batteries have had some issues and are not fully charging. Some of this is due to improper charging, over heating, storage problems and physical damage.

Milwaukee utilizes a "smart battery" Digital Management System to monitor the "draw" on the battery to keep the user from frying the motor or overtaxing the battery. How hard to you use the tools...perhaps you should trade the stock compact versions for the XC (extra capacity) versions.

You don't say how long you've had these tools, but if you'll go back to the retailer you bought them from, you may be able to get replacement batteries there. Otherwise, check out the Milwaukee website. I think they came out with M18 XC "RED LITHIUM". I think this might be a replacement.

Nonetheless, Milwaukee offers a 2 year warranty on their batteries, so contact your retailer or Milwaukee directly.
