I pulled the ring several times and nothing happened. Should there be a click or other sound to indicate the ignition?

There is no need to use a lighter. The ring is NOT meant to ignite the heater!This heater ignites when you turn the temp / gas valve ALL THE WAY open. It will click then.Ignore the ring on the side of the heater. I have never used it at all! (I believe it is some kind of primer, but it is entirely unneccecery. Turn the heat knob all the way up and keep clicking that until it lights. If you wait about half a second while it is on high before clikcing the igniter (by turning it farther) it should light instantly. Don't leave it on without igniting it of course, it will puff and flame up when it does ignite if you do. There is no need to use a lighter.

More details about the ring, it is a CHOKE. It prevents as much air from being mixed with the fuel as it flows out of the orifice. This is meant to prevent the fairly explosive puff that happens when you first light this heater. I still completely ignore it though. Just turn the fuel valve to max and repeatedly click the igniter (by turning it ALL the way against the spring at the end) until it lights. Keep your face away from the front of the heater when you do.

Go to the manual and call the number. They must get this call a lot because they had a step by step to get it lit the first time. I don't remember the steps, but they had me detach the hose, hold the switch, have the flow real low... It worked and once it got primed the first time, it's lit easily ever since.

We have our 2nd receiver off & when the sensor is activated, I only here a click click sound. So not too bad but enough to indicate an activation

Check to make sure you are not out of fuel?Check to make sure the fuel valve is turned on?Make sure the battery is charged enough to crank it over fast enough to start it?Did you put Oil in it before trying to start it?

Dear Candide: I have two of these products. The one you are asking about and one that is simpler only having pliers and screw drivers. I no longer carry this item on my truck keys because the key ring was getting too heavy. I have separated my keys to lighten the truck key ring. Too heavy a ring is not good for ignition switch longevity. I'd suggest that if this is a concern that you go with the simpler version of this tool.

I'm not positive, but I talked to a mechanic at a dealer and he went through some elaborate sequence of opening and closing the door coordinated with locking and unlocking the doors and switching the ignition off and on. He had to try several times before it worked. I tried several times to repeat the process and was never successful. I finally gave up and paid the guy for the second one.

Check for spark first. Check on of switch 1=on and 0=off. Check gas valve, is it on? No spark could mean a bad spark plug and if not then I would send it back!John Judge

You need to push down and turn. Also make sure the red tag is removed. It sticks out of the engine part just pull and it should work

It made a clicking sound when I tried it. Not sure if you'll have the same experience.

I would pray that I find the key, or use a blow torch, or just call the factory! Surely the manufacturer should be able to give you some serious guidance. Bummer!

There is a tiny hole on the ring just inside the handle. Using the provided 'pin' tool , insert, depress and pull handle at same time. Do both and switch.

I don't know to be honest. There isn't anything in the tester to make a sound. It is basically a wire lightbulb and spring. When you ground one end and make positive contact with the other the light lights up. You can even hook it up in reverse and it will work the same. I know mine has no means of making a sound. Maybe you completed an circuit with the tester that made the vehicle beep. That is very possible.

You have to hold the middle ring still and turn the top part counter clockwise. It should pop up right away.

Upon receiving the item, please check inside the plastic ziplock bag to see if it came with a silver pin. This pin is use to activiate the sensor light. Insert the pin inside the tiny hole on the light housing and push it, you will hear a slight "click". This means that the light has been activated. You're good to go. If this procedure does not work, return it. You might have a defective product.

it happened to me also. the red ring means it's charging. i left it plugged in when i went out, next morning it worked. now when i shut the car i press the button on the end for 2 seconds and shut it as well instead of leaving it on. the idea being i'm leaving the battery with some juice in it because i think the battery drained, which is why i believe it was charging but not displaying/working.
