Garage Door Light Flashes 2 Times

When your garage door light flashes 2 times, it usually indicates a problem with the safety sensors. These sensors are located on either side of the garage door and are responsible for detecting objects or people in the path of the door. If the sensors are misaligned or obstructed, the door will not close and the light will flash 2 times.

There are a few things you can do to troubleshoot this problem. First, check to make sure that the sensors are properly aligned. They should be facing each other directly and there should be no obstructions between them. If the sensors are misaligned, you can adjust them by following the instructions in your garage door owner's manual.

If the sensors are properly aligned, the next step is to check for obstructions. Make sure that there is nothing blocking the path of the door, such as a car, a bike, or a trash can. If there is an obstruction, remove it and try closing the door again.

If you have checked the sensors and there are no obstructions, the next step is to check the wiring. Make sure that the wires are all connected securely and that there is no damage to the wires. If you find any damaged wires, you will need to replace them.

If you have checked all of these things and the problem persists, you may need to replace the safety sensors. You can purchase new safety sensors at your local hardware store or online. Once you have replaced the sensors, the garage door should close properly and the light should stop flashing.
