Tuesday june 26 2018 you are overriding the infrared beam sensor when you hold down the wall button continuously while the garage door is closing.
I have to hold the garage door button.
On the garage door motor in your garage press the learn smart button once.
Hold your transmitter up near the selected button pressing both the garage door remote and the selected in car transmitter button simultaneously.
Why do i have to hold down the button to close the garage door.
My garage door will open by just pressing the button once but to close it i have to hold in the button until it fully closes.
So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning.
If you have another person who can help now is the time their assistance will be needed.
The garage door will not open close.
After i hold the button down to close it the sensor lights come back on.
While indicator light is flashing press homelink button twice.
It is a craftsman.
My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down.
Hold down on the buttons until the in car red light flashes rapidly.
This is where the step ladder comes in.
I ve made sure there are no obstacles and that the sensors are aligned properly.
This sets the in car transmitter to be your garage door openers make transmitter but you are not done.
