Maybe a stupid question but have you checked the batteries?
Need Advice On Reason For Animated Props Going Nuts This Year HELP!
Hi,
We have set up our Halloween Display for this year but several of the animated props both large and small, are not working properly. All animations are triggered per "Try Me" Buttons with wiring run from the various props to the picket fence which runs the length of the front of the display.
For example, two animated vultures are in the rafters above the section of the zombie display. Both initially worked fine, now the one on the left will not trigger at all. Similarly put one of the LED Skeleton Wolves in this year brand new. Works perfectly on motion sensor, and when off triggered flawlessly with all new wiring and Try Me Button on fence. Now, nothing. It will not trigger at all. We have traced the wiring, rewired Try Me Buttons, and well, everything we can think of to do. Ah---a Jumping Table Spider set up very early on never exhibited any problems, Checked it today and it will not trigger.
We are half-crazy with exasperation. We are in rural Adams County Ohio. The humidity levels are through the roof. We are wondering whether this could be the problem. Does anyone have any input?
The display is outdoors, covered overhead and sides. Tarps are lowered across the entire front and tied down. It is nevertheless outdoors.
ANY opinions, insights, or information would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks, Carole AKA LUV2HAUNT
