Dan:

do you recall the polarity of the battery mounting
points on the SI board, or are they marked?

I ask because I attempted the remote fix a few
years back, but it didn't work right,
perhaps due to poor workmanship. I'd like to give
it another try.


: Dan,
: Replacing the SI batteries are cheap and not hard to do. Worth a try. Check the BCG FAQ site for clear instructions (http://web2.airmail.net/grills/b_c_g_FAQ/Electrical.html#anchor6436272.) It cost me about 20 bucks to replace the 2 AA batteries to a remote location and build the reset tool (see the yellow Enthusiast's Companion book for instructions). My dealer wanted about $475 to replace the pc boards. Good luck.
