ir not working

Have you checked her batteries?

If more than 30 years old I'd try a newer model; say that is only 10-25 years old. They can usually be controlled with a little less cash and they are a little easier to clean up and present. Not to mention how well they make you feel when you get them to work once the lights are out.

have her show you where the sensor is. Give it a thorough cleaning with your tongue.

OOPs just noticed I hit the 1 instead of 2 (20-25).
