Not working?! Installed, turned on, lite a few seconds (middle of day), went out, and wouldn't come back when sensor was covered to test it. Common?!

It is designed to only work in pitch black. Mine also do not work in the middle of the day. Sorry.

Make sure to have the sensor pointed out front, you might have to unscrew it just a tiny bit to get it to face out, had to do it with mine. After that I just leave them on 24/7 and they go on and off by themselves. When the power went out it took a little bit for them to come back on again, but they started to work fine after that.

I would send it back as defective, mine worked fine. Contact the company & request a replacement. Good Luck

I tested mine by going into a normal lit room, turn it on, then turn out the lights in the room, making it dark and then seeing if the light came on. That is how I tested it and it worked exactly as it should.

I tried that also but the true test is when it got dark and the light did come on and wentoff in the morning. My bulb did stop working however after a few weeks so I used the return service at Amazon. They replaced it and the new bulb has been working great!

Mine worked straight out of the box. Make sure sensitivity is turned up. If sensitivity is up high and it still doesn't work. Change the batteries. Good luck

Aim directly at the sensor & make sure the connections are fully plugged in. You could also contact customer service- Worst case scenario, return it & get another one.

The light sensors are no good. Open it up and bypass the light sensor by re-wiring it (not that hard) and it will work but the light will only operate from the light switch and not day or night sensor.

Before calling Boss to see if it's under warranty, I would check the plugs in the back. There should be one that is connected to the remote sensor... it could be loose or maybe came unplugged!? I've spoken (and emailed) with Boss customer service about other issues and they have been very helpful. It's a small team, so you may have to leave a message and wait for return call.

I am not sure how to fix that. Mine works just fine. You may need to send it back for a replacement unit. Also I didn't have to plug in my GPS sensor.

It could have gone bad. Try disconecting and the reconecting your climate controller so it can reprogram itself and see if it starts working.

just make sure its charged up. mine came charged. see if it has a color lite when you plug it in and see if it changes when it's charged.

I would make sure the bulb is connected. Otherwise, it should just turn on. If not, I would send it back. :)

Make sure that the area you place it is completely dark.. If there is any light around the sensor, it will not turn on.

Unfortunately, I think your unit, like mine is DOA. This unit charged all lights and then I took it off the charge and it did nothing. DEAD!

Help! Same problem. Ours worked for less than 24 hours and will not turn on at all, no light, nothing. It doesn't even almost come on. Blank. Screen. Frustrated!!

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .

are you sure you replaced the senor that was not working? I used onstar to diagnose my problem then looked up the code they gave me on Google to identify if it was the driver side or the passenger side sensor that was malfunctioning.

Sorry to hear that!.. I thought it was very easy to install and my battery was fully charged and it worked fine. Make sure it's hooked to the battery correctly and the battery is charged. If not it might be defective :(
