The answer to 'my surge protection won't turn on' is that there are several common causes, including a faulty surge protector, tripped circuit breaker, or loose electrical connections. Symptoms may include no power to the surge protector or connected devices, and the surge protector light not turning on.
To troubleshoot, first check the surge protector's power cord and ensure it's securely plugged into a working outlet. Next, check your home's circuit breakers and reset any that have tripped. If the issue persists, the surge protector itself may be faulty and need replacement. For more complex issues or if you're uncomfortable working with electrical systems, it's best to call a licensed electrician.
