​
There is no indicator light on the Flick: Under the switch there are two small buttons, a "reset" on the left and "restart" on the right. Press the "restart" button on the right. If not, something is wrong....please contact us!
​
My overhead lights wont turn on, or the switch doesn't respond to turning it on/off?
Under the switch there are two small buttons, a "reset" on the left and "restart" on the right. Make sure none are depressed down or stuck, then press the "restart" button on the right. If that doesn't work, we are VERY SORRY and will send someone to fix this ASAP. Please contact us below.
