Sometimes we think things are damaged and needs replacement. In initial part of my video, you'll see how fast my issue was solved.
After I solved it, I went ahead and used some left over hardware that I had from the Barina lights that I already had installed in my garage.

You are a God sent, no other explanation for finding your video immediately & being the solution to my problem!! Thank you so very much & God bless you with more solutions to share in 2024!!🙏🏼

[@297modz]

Appreciate your kind words! God bless you 2!

[@charlesbarnhart6984]

Thank you very much for making this video. The contact in my opener wasn’t making contact with the bulb. Your solution fixed it on my unit!

[@297modz]

Awesome ! I'm glad I was able to help! Happy holidays!

[@cyclesmoking]

Thanks man!!! Neither of the lights in my garage door opener were working. New bulbs didn’t help. I checked the owner’s manual and no help there. Then I turned to KZbin and found your tip about bending out the contact tabs. I unplugged, bent out the tabs and BINGO!!! It worked! You saved me a call to an electrician. Thanks! Much appreciated!! 👏🏼👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼

[@297modz]

Awesome, bro! I'm glad it worked. All the people who don't see this video will pay at least $70 or $80 for a tech visit. And they might upsell you to a new garage opener! Thanks for watching and your kind words!

[@mayarichards1153]

Thanks this solved my garage light problems. I was dreading calling an electrician.

[@297modz]

100% good job! Always check on youtube before spending any $$$. Glad I was able to help you!

[@Richard-kj3yp]

Thank you for the tips. It is really helpful. Mine had exact same problem. The metal plate was too low to contact the bottom of the bulb. Now, lights are back. Thank you very much.

[@297modz]

Awesome, man! I'm glad you got it working again!

[@dlewis1303]

Fixed mine today. That was exactly what was wrong with it. Thank you sir!

[@297modz]

You're welcome Sir

[@supermike0822]

Hey, thanks for this info! I had one side of my opener out as well and was looking up how to replace the socket when I found your video! I carefully pryed out the little metal piece (after unplugging, of course! lol!) and rubbed it with some sandpaper. After that I put in a new bulb and plugged it back in… viola!!! Appreciate the advice!!

[@seedydoubleyou]

The lights in my garage door opener have not worked for years. After watching your video... 5 minutes later they both work fine. Thank you!

[@297modz]

You're welcome! Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@colinbrokaw2885]

Solved a problem and improved the domestic vibes in our house. Many thanks.

[@297modz]

Awesome! I'm glad I was able to help!

[@juangarza5227]

That’s crazy. My garage light hasn’t worked in almost 2 years. I tried that poof worked. Thanks so much

[@297modz]

Anytime! I'm glad It worked out for you!

[@MichaelCareyMusic]

I have the same unit, had the same issue. This was the exact fix. IN my case the contact was not corroded or oxidized, but it was bent back in the socket and no longer making good contact with the back of the bulb. I pried it forward and voila, light goes on. Thank you!!

[@297modz]

Awesome! I'm glad your light is back on!

[@kenwarren661]

Great idea for more light in garage. Thank you, also for the repair advice. I’m anxious to try.

[@297modz]

Anytime Sir. Yes very easy fix! + very nice light options! I'm thinking of adding a few more lol. I kind of like the illumination a lot!

[@zackanderson7109]

Thanks so much! you showed me exactly what I had to do was just bend that little piece of metal forward

[@297modz]

Good good! I'm glad it helped!

[@russlevine8978]

What you're saying made me think of the idea of using a motion sensor instead of a standard switch for the ceiling lights. I have fluorescent ceiling lights and now whenever the garage door opens, the ceiling lights will go on. BTW, your fix of cleaning the contacts worked! Thanks!!

[@297modz]

Awesome! Motion sensors are always nice!

[@robertlewis6465]

Thanks, this saved me a lot of time trying to figure it out!

[@297modz]

Nice nice

[@mabyer8505]

Thanks this worked new garage door opener had it installed about 7 months ago did have a bulb to put at the time called company genie the said it's the circuit board glad a seen this

[@skol7011]

Adding the lights mounted to the ceiling is genius!

[@297modz]

Thanks man! It is a great extra light in the garage! Especially now in wintertime!

[@sethburger5619]

Thanks for the idea. Definitely going to do this BUT put them the other way so the bar and opener don’t actually block any of the light!

[@297modz]

I see what you're saying, and yeah that would be smarter to do. I completely agree. I have to fix a hole in the wall sometime this summer. Since I'm covering some holes. I could swap them around! Thanks for the tip!

[@malikmartin]

Cleaning the connector worked! THANKS!!!

[@297modz]

Awesome! Good job!

[@BVSwanson]

Thank you! Fixed.

[@yooper8778]

I really appreciate it! I slightly bent the contact up with a flathead like you showed and cleaned it with a little hydrogen peroxide. I had to use a halogen bulb as I we cannot get the old incandescent bulbs anymore. It works perfectly now. Thanks!💡

[@297modz]

Good job! On getting your light fix! Glad I could help!

[@cr42cr42]

Thanks! Your easy fix worked like a charm : )

You are welcome Sir!

[@user-bt5vm6vf8s]

Yup...fixed my light...ceiling water leak had shorted the bulb and left black stuff on the contact...scraped off easily et voila...works now! Considering your enhanced lighting...looks pretty easy too...any suggestions for insulating space above dry wall and house?

[@297modz]

Sorry no idea for isolation haven't had to do one yet. Good luck.

[@dfyffe6772]

My problem is I have a myQ video keypad, and when my led lights are plugged in, it will not work but when I unplug the lights it works great I like my leds when my garage door is opening and idea's on how to fix this problem

[@297modz]

No idea how to help you there. Sorry

[@Catboy801YT]

I try to put a new bulb and it stop working so I look for a video until I found this video and now it works

[@297modz]

Awesome, man! I'm glad it worked out for you! Have a nice Sunday!

[@redrocks1983]

I accidentally knocked into my light bulb with a huge empty box. It broke the bulb + the housing is hanging off. I put new bulb in, reset circuit breaker and it's not working. Even the light on the wall went out ...im afraid it's not repairable

[@harrietsigmund8200]

Led should not be used in garage door opener . They emit a different frequency.

[@297modz]

That is good to know! Appreciate your tip my friend!

[@dalerogers2490]

Why the annoying music

[@297modz]

Sometimes, we need to be grateful for a free solution you got provided and save you at least a tech visit. And now you want to complain about some music in the background?

[@NorthJerseyFooter]

LOL, this worked!! Thanks.

[@297modz]

100% good job!
