Polar Bear

[snapdragen]

His right front leg will not light up. This is not fun.

Is there an in-line fuse that might be dead? Check to see if all the wires are intact. Could there be a cut or damaged wire or could a wire have pulled out of one of the light sockets?

[snapdragen]

I don't think it's a fuse. It's a weird set up, the string is split between the left and right side. The left side lights up, the right does not. I'm trying to avoid pulling and checking each bulb.....

[TWB8s]

How old is the Bear? Is the string the kind where one bulb goes and the rest go dark? Are the bulbs the kind with a plastic base with a small wire in a groove on each side of the base that is then inserted into the socket? those are sometimes crooked or not pushed in completely.

(just because I'm an electrician doesn't mean I know chit about holiday lights)

I just had a friend deal with that last weekend (deer not bear) If you have to pull the string of lights to check them JUST REPLACE THEM!. (check before installing)

Maybe it just needs more Coca Cola.

He's fixed!! I decided I had to look at each bulb, and found one hiding that was broken. Totaly crushed. Pulled it out with some pliers, popped in a new bulb -- and he lights up all over. yay me.

Yay! Bear has leg! Bear can walk!

Why do you hate tripod bears?

[Aindreas]

Did you ever stop to consider that maybe the bear liked having one unlit leg? Like maybe with the other lit-up polar bears having an unlit leg is like having a really cool tattoo or piercing. Or wearing a hijab?

Why did you like violating the religious rights of lit-up polar bear ornaments???

cool....you're lucking it was crushed....cause burned out can be REAL hard to tell on those little suckers!

[eekase]

I have a female and male reindeer in our front yard. The antlers of the male will not light up...?
There are no broken/crushed bulbs......I wonder if " he" is making a statement.

I'm going to a x-mas party at a friends place on the 16th......I plan to get all lit up

I had considered making him a suit of armor, like the Armored Bears in The Golden Compass.....

my dad has some neighbors with those lit up deer on their lawn. the deer end up posed humping at some point in the x-mas season.
