How do you open the switch once you have closed it? It is not working and we need to rethread the wire...

I had the same issue. I pried the two halves apart with a small screwdriver. I was convinced that I would crack the plastic. Went very slowly and was able to open it. Good luck!!

There are no screws, the clips on the bottom are on the inside of the small rectangular holes. Use small flat bladed screwdriver to move the two clips inward

I'm not sure what you're up against, but.... I'd just take it all apart and start over again.There should be either a screw or a clip, or it's held together with friction. If it's not working you need a new switch? Or do you just have it wired wrong?There is a screw on the back of it..? be sure the power's off!bucky in tucson

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

I really don't know as I'd mess around trying to fix it myself. Upon looking at my deni freshlock it appears the wire goes down inside. I would call amazon cust service & maybe see about a replacement. Sorry that's not much help.

Mine did not work either. The switch was not functioning. But the most disappointing issue is that the seller and the manufacturer did not care to listen to my complains or try to repair the switch. No refunds was received.

Mine really did not work either. i split the side of the switch open with a razor blade and seen how the contacts were not touching very well i scraped them on the inside with a knife blade. added some Dielectric grease tested made sure it worked then glued switch back together. worked great then i decided not to use it. the light works fantastic however.

I thought mine was broke also. I tapped it in my hand and squeezed it while it was open. I'm thinking its something in the on/off switch. Once its on, it stays on though.

It sounds like you have the wrong wire contacted to the power source. One wire goes the a permanent power soure and the other goes to the ingnition switch. Couldn't tell you which color goes where because I returned my unit because it froze on me and stopped working.

It's a simple circuit - normally closed switch when not press in. I'm not an electrician, but I can tell you how to logically wire it in. Run one side of the live wire to the light and then split the other side and run a parallel circuit on the switches. That way either switch will complete the simple circuit and if they're both turned out, there should be no change in voltage since they are both parallel with no load on either circuit.My electrical experience: F-16 fighter aircraft wire electrical systems repair, many years of home improvement, and air force electrical fundamental and troubleshooting courses for fighter aircraft.

There is a red switch in the back I didn't know about it til I was cleaning it. Return if the switch doesn't work.

Mine still works fine. Maybe it has dirt in e switch. I would try a good cleaning around the switch and see if you can free it up.

You dont replace the switch. Take a small flathead screwdriver and pry the button out. You will find a small metal connector that a spring holds down. Chances are that sprinf came loose. You need to find a way to keep the spring in place. I used tape. Try and get creative with it.

Try to press the area below the switch button...I tried it and it's working again.

Open the Bottom of the barrel where the orange on and off switch is. There are threads so it screws open and closed again.

I just opened the handle put the battery end in and the wire and squeezed it shut. No setup, worked great.

I have done it once. First try unplugging it and disconnecting it for 10-20 seconds. This might help you not have to reset it.

I've had the same problem. At first, I took it out and put it back in but after a few times of doing that, it didn't work any longer. I also tried turning the switch on and off and that worked at first, but alas, no more. For this much money, can't Mattel get it right?

You just have to flip switch again. No big deal. Our lights went out the other night and I did have to turn it back on.
