Why is that..you could have a ferret kill 1ft below ground but 10ft away from where you are stood..a 15ft collar and locator make it a little easier to find..

 

To the origional Post..i would do what has been suggested by give the copper contact a scrape if it's a mk1..if it's the mk 2/3 have a look to make sure the little spring's that the battery sit's on are not bent down..

The issus is can be the contact points as suggested but 99% of the time its where the owners screws the cap too tight causing one of the batterys to became concaved .

So when its retighted there is gap between battery 1 and 2 so no complete circuit so no tick.

is it easy to take the little plastic box part of the locator apart? one of my collars keeps going off, but when you squeeze the box it starts again so I'm thinking something must be loose inside.

all my other collars work fine just that 1 thats faulty but cheers for all of the comments
