My Garage Door Light Won't Turn On, Now What?

This is a very common issue that we deal with at Garage Doors Unlimited. Below are a few reasons that the lights are out in your opener.

• Light bulb
• Contacts in the socket
• Light socket
• Logic board

1. Unplug the opener. If, there is a back-up battery, disconnect it.
2. Take out the lightbulb.
3. With a small flathead screwdriver, pry the two contacts inside the socket out so that they will make better contact with the bulb.
4. Put light bulb back in, if there is a second light, repeat above steps.
5. If there is a back-up battery, reconnect.
6. Plug the opener back in. Test the lights.

Light Socket or Logic Board: We recommend testing before having a service technician out but if its either the logic board or the socket we recommend a factory trained technician. To test try the following:

Unplug the garage door opener, then immediately plug the opener back into the electrical outlet. Listen for the light relay on the logic board to click.

• If you hear a click, replace the light socket
• If you do not hear a click, replace the logic board.
