is it possible that the rain is trickling into the circuit board area on the shaft because it will need to be mounted higher on the post and have a slight downward angle where it attaches to the gate thus the water flows away from the unit also small drilled holes in the bottom to let moisture out silicone can be used to tighten up edges

Thanks Randy, where are the red and black wires that are connected to the board coming from? power switch or from the motor? Thanks

Also in the NW... I've gone through probably 6 of these over the past 15 years too. My 360 unit just failed on one my gates. With the 371, they moved the board out of the unit, but to be honest, I'm tired of giving MM my money after the units fail every 3 years. I'm looking at the ghost as well, though its a bit more money. If you stay with MM, I recommend setting up a curtain over the unit to keep the water off the body and the arm. It might look a little stupid, but the weather hates these things.

Did your MM beep once when it stopped? I've been on the phone with MM several times; replaced the limiter board and a bunch of wires, but has literally the same problem. This is the 2nd arm to fail in 8 years. I'm done with them.

The circuit boards are separate from the opener arm and both are sealed very well. I haven't even blown a fuse. The additional cost up front has been paid back several times over already.

Why couldn't you give us the symptoms that you were having with your Mighty Mule gate opener so that way we could relate it to ours not very useful

They fail, and now you can't even buy replacement parts, so you are stuck buying a new unit entirely.

Sorry about that omission. The rod extends part way, and stops. It may extend 1 inch or half way.

I'm in the Southwest and we've lived here about 15 years. I've been through 3 or 4 of these things already.. They work about 2 years at most and the battery constantly goes dead even with a solar panel. Every time it rains significantly, it wont-work for several days until it dries out.. I'm sick of mighty mule products 😒

A separate electronic control box would help. Seal the hall effect from moisture and the product might last more than 2 years.

Update: I had 1 MM left on a seldom used gate. It has now failed. Same issue. Rod will extend a small distance then stop. Open/close circuit board failure. It hasn’t been exposed to the elements yet still failed. That will be the last one I will ever use. Ghost and Liftmasters from now on depending on the application.

That's cause Mighty Mule is junk. Lift Master is one way to go.
