Garage Door Sensor Lights Not On

Your garage door sensor lights may not be working for several reasons. Here are some of the most common and how to fix them.

1. Bad Sensor

If the sensor is bad, it will not be able to detect when the garage door is open and closed. This will cause the lights to stay off. You can test the sensor by shining a flashlight at it. If the light turns on, the sensor is working properly. If it does not, you will need to replace the sensor.

2. Loose Wiring

Loose wiring can also cause the garage door sensor lights not to work. Check the wiring connections to make sure they are tight. If any of the wires are loose, tighten them and see if the lights come on.

3. Faulty Light Bulb

A faulty light bulb can also cause the garage door sensor lights not to work. Check the light bulb and make sure it is working properly. If the light bulb is not working, replace it with a new one.

4. Bad Switch

The switch that turns the garage door sensor lights on and off can also go bad. Check the switch and make sure it is working properly. If the switch is not working, replace it with a new one.

5. Power Outage

If there is a power outage, the garage door sensor lights will not work. Check to see if there is a power outage in your area. If there is, wait until the power comes back on and see if the lights come on.

6. Incorrect Settings

Some garage door sensor lights have settings that can be adjusted. These settings can affect how the lights work. Check the settings and make sure they are set correctly. If the settings are not set correctly, adjust them and see if the lights come on.

7. Faulty Garage Door Opener

In some cases, a faulty garage door opener can cause the garage door sensor lights not to work. Check the garage door opener and make sure it is working properly. If the garage door opener is not working properly, have it repaired or replaced.
