In my gas fireplace, the remote control sensor in the fireplace is operated
from a battery (9v). That battery does eventually discharge and need
replacement. In my case, the sensor battery is in an imitation pine cone
and is accessible from the bottom of the pine cone. (Maybe you've already
considered that, ref your comment about the "remote box.")

Try changing the battery in the sensor, if you haven't already.

I have a gas fireplace that doesn't have a wall switch. It only has the
remote control on/off switch. The pilot light is always on, but when I
click the remote, the fireplace doesn't start. I've removed the grill
at the bottom and see that the red light on the remote box does blink
and making a clicking sound when I click the remote.

I've had someone tell me to check the wiring, but I don't know what to
check it with or how to check it. I'm sure I could fix it myself, if I
just knew where to start. Any help you can provide is greatly
appreciated!
