Check your instructions, Usually you have to keep it on pilot mode for 30 seconds then you should be able to turn it to on without the pilot flame going out.

Is it normal for tester to show hot on a light switch with it in the off position and no power going to the light it controls?
Yes. Even with no power to the light, there is still power to the switch. To power off the switch you usually need to open a circuit breaker.
How do you turn off 03 Pontiac Vibe headlights. won't turn off after car is off. I have light switch in the off position so what is going on.?
Check your relay. Take a test light to see if you have power going to the 86 pole when the headlight switch is turned off. If you do, your switch is stuck in the on position. If you don't, your relay is stuck closed.
Why interior light stays on?

My gas fireplace pilot light works perfectly. However when I flip the switch for the rest of the fireplace to turn on nothing happens.?
I am having the same problem, possible one of two answers. It's either the switch or the valve. If you follow the cord from the switch it will have a black and a white wire attached to the gas valve under the fireplace. To rule out the switch as the problem take a ordinary paper clip and touch it to the two screws that the wires are attached to, thus completing the circuit and causing your fireplace to light. The other option is that it is the gas valve itself. when the valve is set to the on position and you flick the switch there are tiny little flappers inside the valve that open allowing the gas to flow though, sometimes they can be stuck shut if the fireplace has been sitting awhile. The best answer I got was to tap the sides and top of the valve with a screwdriver or wrench to jar them open. Other more unlikely options are that the gas valve is not set to "on", there is a on/off switch somewhere on the valve, or that your over all gas pressure in your house has been split to many ways and you don't have enough gas flow to actually run your fireplace.
How do you make a 2 way switch which breaks the circuit only when both the switches are turned off?
Send power to the 1st switch and then send the power from that switch when it is in the on position to the second switch. Then send power to the light from the second switch. That way both switches will have to be in the on position for the light to be on.
What is the brake light switch?
A brake light switch is a mechanical electric switch that is set in the off position (open circute) and located in front of the brake pedal. When you step on the pedal and its position changes the switch complete's its circute sending power to the brake light. The brake light switch is protected by a fuse or circute breaker and has no other connection with the operation of the brakes.
Why does the step light stay on?
bad switch == Te light is operated by a switch in the door or frame. The switch wire is either shorting out to the vehicle body or the switch has failed in the 'on' position. It might just e seized up. There might also be a step light override, like a courtesy roof light has. Check it is in the off position.
What happens to an electric current at a light switch?
When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.
