Connect the battery to the wire and ground (or another wire) at one end. Then take the banana to the other end of wiring and wires you are looking for should have a loud tone.

It didn't work for me to trace through the wall, but it worked when I went to various outlets. I had to put the probe practically IN the outlets, however.

Sounds like a faulty unit, my last one only lasted a couple of months. It's just a cheap fun thing so I figured I would just replace them as they gave out... Since it came that way though I would say return it for a replacement.

That's strange, try to make some noise, it has a sensor. Mine is working as plug n play.

Make sure you have it on the track correctly. If that doesn't do it I wish I could help you....mine actually stopped working all together and could not be returned. Haven't replaced it yet....not sure I'm going to either.

Chirping cannot be coming from the wires--has to come from the unit. Sometimes changing the battery won't work because the unit has a limited life. First try blowing dust out of the unit with canned air. If not working, get a new unit--worked like a charm.

try taking it apart, the two big screws in the front, and move the wire so it comes out the other side (The Philips is designed to do this)...it sounds like its running backwards...let me know if this works...k

I tried using another sensor from a different set along with the sensor that came with the receiver it did not work. Sorry.

the same thing has been happening to me. I think it may have something to do with the slight spark and pop that occured when I attempted to connect my speaker wire while the unit was on.

Check you speaker connections, and speaker wires for chew marks if you have a pet. If that does not work the right channel is blown and it could be just a fuse or receptor which will require service.

i ended up attaching the brown wire from the end that goes to the amp to the amp's chassis, that worked the best. other brown wire not attached to anything. hope that helps. just try it for the best results.

That sounds like a short in the line somewhere. Occasionally mine does this as well, and has since it arrived, and I have not been able to remedy the situation. After researching it, I found both should work evenly all the time and this is a problem. Sounds like we need new wires.

check to see if any of your wires are across any electircal wires and nothing is around mic picking up that sound

I don't think it works. I bought this also and had the same problem. There may be another attachment. I nver figured it out and just sent mine back.

If it is the sound cuts out, you may have a wire crack in the line where it connects to the jack. Wiggle/hold the wire near the jack (plug in), if you can keep the sound on, you may need to replace the line. I have had mine several years and mine line is worn. Just "balancing" the line has worked and I haven't bothered getting a new one yet.

You may have a faulty wire, remember that these are cheaply made. It's not a quality product. Take it back to whereever you purchased it, if possible, and return it.

In our case it was the switch on the dashbord that had a lose wire! Both whistles work fine after several years and many uses. Hope you find a solution.
