Welcome back light -Bighorn 3270

Gary521 · Apr 22, 2016

Does anybody know where the light timer is located in the Bighorn 3270 for the welcome back light. The light only worked once. The wall switch works for the light but not the door magnetic switch. I tried to remove the threshold but that thing is really wedged in there tight. Is there a trick to removing the threshold? I was looking for the timer to see if I had loose connection as a starting point. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Check behind the pass through wall close to where steps are. Maybe there???

Hi Gary,

The control module is probably located between the entry door and the pass through storage rear wall - closer to the door.

I've attached a draft version of a Welcome Back Light Guide that might be of help.

I have something like this right behind the basement wall, behind the 110 plug and the TV coax jack. In that area. Thanks now I know what that is. And Thanks Dan for that doc.

Looks like this...

Thanks, I will check closely. I have part of the basement wall down and did not see it but I will look harder. Any thoughts on removing the threshold? It appear to be wedged in there. Did not want to damage anything with a pry bar.

We too have a BH. I found it lying on the floor, door side, behind the wall where the 110v receptacle and tv coax are mounted.
You'll most likely need to remove that portion of the wall for access

Before taking the threshhold apart, or the door frame, I'd look for a lot of other possibilities. But if you do dig in to it, please get some good pictures so we can help the next person.

Mine is located behind the fire extinguisher mount.
