I was missing working on my rehab grills during the cold offseason, so I decided to see if I could get the grill light on the Q320 that I recently acquired to work. I took it off the grill and brought it inside. After I figured out how to get the batteries out, I changed them out and it still didn't work. I knew it wasn't completely toast because I had did a quick test when I picked it up and it flashed on for a second or two. Well, I took the batteries out and put them in the reverse direction. Still nothing. So, I unscrewed the screws to see if I could see a short or broken wire or any other problems inside. Everything looked fine and the contacts were all clean. So, I put it back together and put the batteries back in. As I was doing so, it flicked on for a second and then went out again. I tried the switch a bunch of times and nothing. Then I tried it one more time and lo and behold, I had light. But, then, it went out again just before I was going to turn it off. Messing around with it a bit longer, I got it to come back on and then, suddenly, off again. I finally realized that the darn things have a tilt switch in them that evidently turns them off when the lid is open. DUH!!!! I felt pretty dumb after realizing that, but I am quite happy that the light works. I am thinking I might just swap it over to my personal Q220 and sell the Q320 after rehabbing it without the light. Seems like a pretty high quality light and I don't think it would add all that much to the value of the rehab/flip on the Q320.
Larry: Don't tell me to keep the Q320, I just don't need that much grilling space for my secondary grill and I need/want the portability of the Q220. Besides, my Q220 is the grill I got from you in trade...haha.
Bottom line though, is to know that the Q grill lights are position sensitive when trying to figure out why they won't come on.
