  1. did you remove the little strip of plastic covering the battery connection?
  2. Make sure nothing is blocking the solar panel (like a sticker, too many trees, etc). If the batteries are completely dead, it might take a good bit of sun. Make sure there isnt a plastic strip sticking out of the battery compartment, this will prevent contact.
  3. If you follow the directions & look at the other suggestions& if you bought the lights at a discount store & they still will not work.......Chances are they are just plain junk. Many neighbors have had them & even if they do work , its just for a while.
