Remote Trigger Question

I have a cheap Ebay remote shutter trigger. Its only label say wx2002. It has worked great until recently. There's now a 3-4 second delay between pressing the remote and the shutter releasing. I can't find a manual/instructions anywhere. I tried reseating the plug and checked to make sure my camera wasn't in timer mode.
Anyone else run into this?

Have you tried changing the batteries? Including the one in the transmitter?

The battery in the receiver is new. I'll try a new one in the transmitter. Thanks.

Figured It Out

The remote has a slide switch that looks like it has 2 positions - 1 for burst mode and the other for ?? I assumed it was for single shot activation. As I slide the switch between the two modes, I could feel a slight resistance in the middle. This was the single shot mode. The other position allows a 4 second shutter delay.
Why would you need a delay with a remote switch?
All is well again.

If it's an IR remote that only works from in front of the camera - to give you time to get out of the shot.
