Introduction
The battery terminals on the Glade Automatic Spray Holder can lose connectivity to power the mini motor for the fragrance spray to be activated. The wires to the terminals often times break off from terminal and need to be soldered back onto it for connectivity.

Press the button labelled glade to open the housing.

Pop one side of the hinge from its peg and slightly pull it away from the device.

Use small needle nose pliers to gently remove each terminal. Check if any wires are disconnected or loose.

The terminals with negative connections (black wires) could have breaks or might have detached from the terminal base. Check for additional issues.

The bottom terminal is one piece instead of two pieces like the top ones.

-
Use the soldering gun and soldering electrical wire to solder the bared wire to the terminal.

The solder does not need to be beautiful, just functional.
