Cougar Remote Problems

I have a 2013 Cougar high country 321res. Great unit and I have no complaints so far other than I'm having problems with the remote. Everything worked fine when we did the walk through at the dealer before I picked it up. I pulled it home 150 miles and now the flashlight on the end of the remote doesn't work and the remote will no longer turn on the docking lights.

The docking lights turn on by the switch inside the unit so they do work and they did turn on by the remote before I brought it home. Dealer is no help, basically told me to use the switch inside the unit and be happy.


Any one have any ideas as to what might be going on with the remote.

I tried to search the forum for someone else having a similar issue and didn't find anything so I figured I'd start a thread.


Any help is greatly appreciated!
Andrew

The same thing happened to me only on a 2012 res327 so I am not 100% it will work for you. There is a panel close by the battery hook up in the front compartment. On this panel there is a reset button that you press and the remote should start working again. I know the instruction seem pretty vague but when you get in there and start looking around you will see what I am talking about.

Could it be the battery in the remote is dead? If nothing else it should at least work the flashlight part if the battery was good.

Everything else the remote does works fine. Only the docking lights and built in flashlight.

I'll take a look for a reset button and see if that helps. It has to be something simple as the remote worked before I brought it home and now it doesn't. A reset button sounds like it just might do the trick.


I'll update with what I find out.

No clue what's wrong. I can't find a reset button or anything else wrong.

Kinda sucks to have a brand new unit and some features already don't work....
