How do you turn on the RWR on the Hornet?

[Life Pilgrim]

Somehow it ceases to work..The countermeasures work just fine but there is nothing on my RWR...nothing and I get hit with radar-guided missiles without warning.

Below the center DDI there are few buttons.
The right one turn on the RWR.

Then after takeoff go to EW menu and use top middle button to switch from STBY to your prefered mode.

I suggest you to read "Chuck guide for F18".
It is perfect manual for those who don't want to read official (and long) manual. It has a lot of images and it is written in very simple language.
Just google it.

I tried looking up the manual..didn't find it..

I will let you into this little known secret..... There is this website on the internet where you can get a lot of the answers you are looking for...... It is called You Tube!!! https://www.youtube.com/

I did search but couldnt find it....perhaps it's buried in many minutes...I tell you a secret you cant know the exact content of videos unless you watch them from start to finish. Some that I did, didn't explain on how to turn it on. They discuss the symbology and countermeasures but failed to mention on how to start it. Imagine that! [on] How imperfect [sacrasm off]

At 0:59, he turns the RWR on. It`s the first thing he does.
Also, i checked on the english manual. The RWR, and related systems, are covered from page 136.
I really suggest, that you read the manual. It should help you learn the plane faster and keep away stupid answers like above.

Thank you!
