Pre-lit Christmas Tree Lights Keep Turning On?Recently purchased and assembled a Home Accents 9 foot prelit Christmas tree. Works great EXCEPT when I turn off the lights using the remote or foot pedal, they go off but turn back on in about 5 minutes. Only way to turn them off for longer is to unplug the tree. Any suggestions?

LED Lights on Christmas Tree Not Working?I have a four year old pre lit Christmas tree. In the top section (3rd) some of the lights are not working, while others do. I followed the cord from the plug and they seem to split off with one side working the other not. I also did a current check and there is power running through the side with the non functioning lights.
