Craftsman Garage Door Opener Sensor Problem
Comments (1)the wires carry a data signal, not enough voltage there to feel. you could have a bad sensor or bad wire. if possible, move one sensor to within a couple ffet of the other and see if both light properly. if so, then you just have thme misaligned. if not, then you need to make 2 short jumpers and hook them to the back of the GDO. if they work there, then your wire is bad. if not, then the sensors are bad....See MoreGarage Door Opener, Craftsman, Closing problem, sensors

Comments (13)Don, Thank you for your patience. I finally had some time last night to take the garage-door opener apart a bit and test the voltage with my multi-meter. I had some difficulty figuring out which terminals were 2 and 3. I tested several wires and combinations between the white, blue, and red wires that came off the back of the motor. My voltage readings were no higher than 1.5vdc. Again, I may not have had the wire combinations correct, though I tried many different combinations. Also, the garage-door opener was working perfectly: could not get it to act up�. Here�s what I discovered� There is one white, red, and blue wire that come off the back of the motor. The white wire goes directly to a connection point (for power, as it is the power line that comes into the unit and branches off to the motor and etc.) and branches off to the logic board, lighting and other components such as the up/down force and up/down travel�. The blue and red wires come off the motor and hook to a cylindrical component (about 4in. in length and 1in. in diameter) and come out of the same cylindrical component at different connection points and those connect to the what I believe is the logic board.. In other words, there�s a red and blue "in" connection point as well as a red and blue "out" connection point� I�m not certain as to exactly where I need to test for voltage�. Can�t get the opener to act up now that the weather is warmer� Thanks for your help and additional advise� Fred...See Moredon_1_2006
