How do I change the batteries in my LED car nozzle?

Answer This Question

Hello MarkO, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. Remove the screw and pry the LED assembly up with a flat screwdriver or similar, from the screw side of the LED assembly. There’s a short screw boss that the LED fits over. Once this boss is cleared, the assembly will move forward and clear those tabs. If you have questions or concerns, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we'll be glad to assist you. Thanks, RIDGID

    The instructions provided by Rigid are accurate, but a lift/forward sliding motion is required to access the batteries after the screw is removed. When you remove the tiny screws to the battery compartment be prepared for the LED and switch to fall apart.

      I have the Ridgid car vacuum kit and purchased this yesterday along with two separate adapter kits. Neither will allow this accessory to work with the car kit (?) However this is what this accessory was made for?

      I have the same issue and this attachment is only designed to be used with the factory black plastic hose that comes with your shop vac not the car kit hose.

        Hello john, Remove the screw and pry the LED assembly up with a flat screwdriver or similar, from the screw side of the LED asm. There’s a short screw boss that the LED fits over, once this boss is cleared the assembly will move forward and clear those tabs. The material these part is made out of is quite flexible which will allow these tabs to move a bit. In fact, when reinstalling the LED assembly you will place the assembly over the screw boss first, and then snap the front down over these tabs. Thanks for asking! If you have more questions, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we'll be glad to assist you.

          Will this work with the dust pan feature of the "3 Gal. 3.5-Peak HP Portable Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum with Built-in Dust Pan"? I have this shop vac and lost the car nozzle.

          Hello jhoff909, The lighted car nozzle can be inserted, but will not slide in as far as the non-lighted car nozzle included in the 3-Gal. 3.5-Peak HP Portable Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum with Built-in Dust Pan. The light prevents the nozzle from sliding all the way in.. If you have further questions or concerns, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we'll be glad to assist you.

                  1" 7"/8". All my shop-vac stuff was 1" 1"/4". I just made an adapter for all of the previous Shop vac fittings. I explained what I did on my review of this.

                      The product Overview above states: LED light lasts 13-hours of constant run time. My question is, are these LED bulbs replaceable, and of so what are the specs on this particular LED light?

                      The LED bulb itself should last for considerably more than 13 hours. More along the line of thousands of hours. My guess is they meant the battery will light the bulb for 13 hours of continuous use. The battery is a watch type battery. It's a little difficult to replace but easy to find replacement batteries and to do yourself.

                        From going through the battery replacement sequence it didn't seem the light was easily replaceable and removing the batteries is a pain. It takes 2 cr2016 batteries.

                                      I have been unable to get the light to stay on without keeping my finger on the button. It appears to have a lock function for the light but it doesn't keep the light on without keeping a finger on the button. The light isn't very bright either. I found myself not using this much, instead favoring the other tools that came with the RIDGID 14 Gal. 6.0-Peak HP NXT Wet Dry Vac with Auto Detail Kit, Oranges/Peaches purchased, which is a huge upgrade to the 20+ year old 5 gal Shop Vac I replaced.

                                      What a nice cleaning attachment.....The RIDGID 2 1/2" locking LED lighted car nozzle is a must have if you own a RIDGID shop vac. This is another great addition to the RIDGID family of products.....The product itself takes two replaceable CR 2016 batteries for the LED light which is very powerful and lasts a long time. In my photo's I took the unit apart so you could see they are replaceable and the batteries can be found at your local Home Depot. The nozzle itself is made of a high impact resistant plastic and a 21/2" locking system. If you don't have one,you don't know what your missing,makes a big difference in cleaning in places with no light or low lighted areas.

                                      Oh, if I had only gotten this a day earlier ... We just went through and thoroughly washed and vacuumed our car for sale. After spending a while upside down vacuuming under the seats, while trying to hold onto a flashlight at the same time, this would have been wonderful to have! A little LED light that provides just enough light under the seat or up under the dash to make it a lot easier to see what you are doing.

                                      I can tell this is a quality product from inspecting the overall design.  There really were no instructions, except a stuck on label that said TRY ME, which I did.  I love that it is a locking tool because having it fall off in awkward places is a nuisance, in my opinion.  I like the light-feature also, and when clicked into position, it stays lit. I haven't had any reason just yet, to open the nozzle and inspect the battery compartment. This area is conveniently located at the very top of the nozzle, so it's quite easy to get to. Knowing that it is a LED light was enough for me. Having the light on while vacuuming my car and truck was good enough for me. Well designed, and snaps on and locks without much effort. This new LED lighted car nozzle is much appreciated, and makes my vacuuming chores that much easier. Looking forward to many years of continuous usage. Another distinct advantage is that it works on wet or dry surfaces.

                                      This Shop Vac car accessory fits perfect without an adapter to swedge down the size and it slips on and off very easily. It helps to see the dirt better with the light. The size does not restrict the air flow or suction power. The light does not make the nozzle heavier than a nozzle without a light. I would highly recommend buying this lighted nozzle.
