My timer trips lights on every night with the red pin. But the black pin no longers turns off the lights. Should I attempt to replace just the pin?

I agree with some of the other posts. If the red pin turns the lights on. I would pull out the black pin, make sure it is not damaged or defective. If not, Move it to the next slot and see if it works and turns the lights off. If it is defective, replace the pin. I beleive the ML88T 988 watt timer came with two red and two black pins. Replace it and you should see your lights turn on and "OFF".

If you have someone knowledgeable about electrical products, I would have them replace the pin. Otherwise, I would just replace the unit, since the cost of an electrician may be more than replacing the unit itself.

If the lighte are turned on by the red pin and since the black pin does not trip the lights off, how do you turn the lights off? Try replacing the black pin to another location. If that ddoes not work you must have a defective black pin.

try pulling the black pin out of the timer and re-insert it to see if this will help.

Yes I have. I got 6 of these from Amazon. Set all 6 up and plugged them in. Next morning, all lights were still on and timers never moved. Then returned them and got 6 more, same problem. All going back to Amazon. I will try Home Depot now.

Yes. Advance the timer wheel till the lights are on and then remove the little on/off time adjustment clips. The timer motor will continue to run but won't operate the on/off switch.

Your Timer has Light Sensor as well Digital time program. This timer is done with Red and Green Pins the red for the time you want the lights to go off and the green for your lights to come on. I have both and prefer the Pin Timer

Press the botton used to select the amount of time for it to stay on. If you can't reach the outlet you might be better off with a regular light timer set to turn on and off by itself.

Same thing has happened to me with this light as well as several different lights over the years. It may be normal, anyway there is a black knob that you can turn not too far away from the power switch. Turn the light on and turn the knob until the light comes on.

The instruction say if both lights are out-replace the unit. I have noted twice so far one or two lights were out-so I checked the switch- yes it was off. Apparently on high loads of surge it will throw the switch off. Re set. This unit does instill a sense of security and is about the best in the market, I have found. Good luck. Old Timer

When you use the timer it turns off automatically. You probably used the "on" position not the timer.

Dont know if its too late to answer this to you... but I did fix it myself just sticking a piece of dark tape on the lateral... just over the round mirror found bellow the on/off switch. I did realize that it was sending some signals to the camera saying it was not night. Maybe some reflex from the white wall. So, I did tape it and now its working fine!

Same thing happened to mine. I ordered a replacement sensor - called a TOUCH LIGHT SENSOR by OK Lighting from Amazon (Prime). It's the same thing that is in the base of the lamp now. I'm only going to try one replacement sensor because I read that these touch lamps should not be left on all the time. I was using it for a lamp during the day and a night light at night so I guess I wore it out (in only a little over a month)!!!!! I really like the lamp and it will be a shame to have to trash it !!!!!

This happened to me also. I noticed that the little tabs that determine when the timer goes on were bumped and not fully in or out. I set them correctly, either in or all the way out, and it's been working correctly since. I hope this helps you.

I use the option "manage delays", so after 4 minutes delay i turn off the lights. Btw, the sensor reset after 4 minutes.

along with your power wire to the timer, the one on the very left. Attach a jumper wire there & run it over to the next to last pin on the right. hook the rest up like the instructions say. It doesn't tell you to do it this way but it will fix your problem !
