See your other post.

If tapping on the unit restores function the first thing I would look for is a loose connection. BTW, Chamberlain makes most, if not all, of Craftsman openers.

I don't know what you are lubricating or what kind of door you have but if you are lubricating the rails of a sectional door you should quit and clean up all the stuff. This could be the cause of your problem. If this doesn't help you really need to call a door technician.

The feature of having the motor unit lightbulbs come on automatically when you walk into the garage, is a feature that has only been on the market for about 5-6 years. Not all machines have this capability built into the logic board. If your machine has this capability, the only way you can turn it on or off is with a "three function wall switch" This means that in addition to a button that opens and closed the door, there are two other buttons on the same wall switch. One is marked LIGHT and the other is marked LOCK. These two buttons MUST be there in order to do this. To have your lights come on automatically when you walk into an open garage, you must START with the lights ON. If you don't want that feature and you want to turn it off, you must START with the lights OFF. To turn the feature on, turn the lights on manually with the wall switch, then press and hold the LIGHT button for about 10 seconds until the motor unit light bulbs flash. Now, if the light bulbs are on, manually turn them out and then walk out through the open door. The light bulbs should come on. To disable this feature, start with the light bulbs OFF and everything else is the same
