Chamberlain garage door simple sensor diagnose and fix

[@juancarloschinchillaesquiv9164]

Excellent, thanks to your explanation I was able to solve the problem.

First half of video is hard to hear and understand, but the 2nd half is clear and that’s where the fix is. I was trying to bypass the sensors by placing them 6” apart above the opener, but I had the wiring wrong...your video was just what I needed! Thanks!

Found my garage with a few misplaced items and what looked like a tuft of squirrel fur. My garage door was not closing, it would start but then back up. I knew it was the sensor, so I cleaned the lenses repeatedly. Didn’t work. Ensured they were aligned perfectly. They were. Saw that the led lights were out. Checked the wires from the overhead unit to the garage door sides and something chewed through one of the two wires of the sensor. When I connected the detached wires, the led light yellow (transmitter) then was on. Pressed the garage button and everything worked. I left the garage and came back and there was a mess again in my garage with displaced items. There must be a rat or a squirrel. I have dogs so I let them loose in the garage and was hoping I’d see the critter leave. I don’t want to fix the wires and then have whatever did it do it again, little bastard! Thanks for the video.

Dude, turn your camera to landscape mode so the video is three times larger and fills the screen. I'm surprised at how many people don't know this. In portrait mode the video is tall and narrow.

How many volts has the sensor

[@FactsMattersUSA]

Much easier if you just use a multimeter at each sensor, simply put positive (red wire) to power and negative (black wire) to neutral and you should get a reading. If zero is shown you need to replace the wires between the sensors and the garage door opener in the ceiling. 5 minutes, you're done.

Both my lights are on and steady, not blinking. Door still will not close.

[@thedoitguy]

Make sure they aligned

[@duckbrew]

Dude that's a little too involved..

[@andreyp.1913]

it was not helpful at all, where is simple fix?

[@jimbig3997]

Spend $50 and buy new sensors just so you can put them together and get the thing to work. What crap.
