Igniter battery and wires

The igniter battery

The manual: no ticking, check the battery first, then the wires. The battery is 1 AA under a ribbed cap at the bottom of the igniter module (assembly guide).

1. Turn every knob off and close the cylinder valve.
2. Open the doors and find the igniter module under the left of the cookbox.
3. Unscrew the ribbed battery cap by hand.
4. Take out the old AA. Fit a new one the right way round, with any clear plastic wrap removed (not the label).
5. Screw the cap back on.
6. Press the ignition button: it should tick.

Then check the wires

The manual's wire check. The four electrode wires are colour-coded: yellow 14 in, black 23 in, blue 28 in and green 33 in (Weber's parts list). The US manual's page 23 shows which outlet each goes to.

1. Look along each wire for damage or chewing.
2. Check both wires are pushed fully onto the ignition button, under the control panel.
3. Check each wire is pushed onto its own colour outlet on the module.
4. Check each electrode tip is clean of grease and rust.
5. Press the button and listen.
