Garage Door Opener Lightbulb Won't Turn On Fixed

- A very common issue we run across weekly is when someone replaces the garage door opener lightbulb but it doesn't turn on. Tried a bunch of bulbs and still no luck? Welcome to the club. We do have the fix however! The prong will either be corroded or pushed to far down so the light bulb doesn't get a good connection.
We recommend the genie minimum frequency interruption lightbulb. Some lightbulbs actually mess with the signal from your remotes and sometimes you aren't able to open the door from very far. You can order that bulb here: www.garagedoor...

3 months tripping in the garage with no lights. Such a quick simple fix 10 seconds. Thank you sir.
Dood my mom has been hating it that the garage door light went out. It’s been two months and I don’t know why it took me so long to search for a solution here. You just made me look so cool to my mom haha
unbelievable, after 2 years i finally have a light, only cause i finally searched it, you the man
What I found on two occasions with two different garage door openers, this may be overkill. It depends on the bulbs you use. The openers don’t work with the new, long lasting bulbs. I bought some of the conventional bulbs and they worked just fine.
This worked perfect. I could hear it switching on and off but nothing happened with the bulb. This took 30 seconds and LET THERE BE LIGHT!!
Thanks for the tip
Thank YOU 🙏🏽!!!!! It’s back working. Didn’t have to call nobody. I appreciate men like you posting videos making it easy for me. God bless you Sir
Bingo, baby! Where the heck were you when i was looking for a solution 2 years ago?? Many thanks for posting.
Haha sorry for taking so long! Glad it worked (:
MY DUDE!!!!!! You Saved the day!!!! After going 1 full year wihout aoto-lights in my garage.... I would have never knew to do that! IT WORKED! Thanks a million!!!
My light went out too, unplugged it with a screw driver I angled the contact up a bit & it works again. Thank you.
Thank you!!! I got tired of throwing out light bulbs thinking they were bad and I was wrong. I thought I would look on TH-cam for a possible problem/solution outside of light bulbs. This worked! The sockets were just corroded. Thank you, Thank you! I now need sunglasses in my garage there is so much light!
Lesley Eviston haha I’m glad it worked for you as well! (:
One light quit working and a new one didn't work either. Inspected the socket and it looked good. After seeing the video I checked the socket with my multimeter and there was power. I unplugged the unit and bent the base tang out and the bulb works again. Thanks for the tip!
Dawg... you rock! Had one of the two lights go out, and no matter what I did, couldn't get it to work. Saw your video, cleaned the contact, pried it up, and boom! Thanks for helping a lot of us out. Subscribed.
Prong was way too flat and it fixed the problem when I raised it a bit, you the man!!!!!! Thanks
Thank you! I just unpluged the unit and took a screwdriver like you said and pulled it forward a bit so make solid contact with the lightbulb. Bingo!
Wish I would have searched for this years ago. Thanks! Worked like a charm!!!
Still helping people! Thanks. Worked like a charm.
Just followed this video and it worked right away. Thanks a lot!
Sweet tip! I had a bulb that seemed to have melted part of the socket where those prongs sit. So, I broke the prongs loose from that and bent them up a bit. Worked! I'm still going to replace the socket b/c I'm sure it'll happen again but I have working light in the mean time! Thanks!
Great fix, worked immediately on both bulbs! Thank you!
ditto
Life saver! This other video I watched was a garage door clown wanting folks to hire hime to replace the damn mechanism!
Standard procedure haha
Thank you! We now have light! Mine was no corrosion...simply needed prying up for better connection. ☺
Worked like a charm on my Lift Master on both sides.
This just saved me like 20 bucks thinking I need new sockets...thanks man
Justin Dryer happy to help !
You’re the reason I have light again, thank you!
This worked like a charm, thank you!
Just saved me $250 bro!!!! Thanks!!!

It was a flattened prong in my case. Thank you.
I just tried this a few minutes ago and it worked, thanks!

You the man.

Having issues with my allister garage door opener bulb, I didn’t know if you could offer a tip or you besides this because I’ve already tried this before watching your video… thanks..
If it’s not the bulb or the socket then it’s likely blown internally on the board itself
Thanks 😊
Steve Phillips happy to help!
Thanks you bro, it work
Additionally, after checking with meter that I had juice at the bulb housing, I thought the bulbs I was attempting to use may not have the same depth to make contact - researched further and confirmed! My older garage door unit appears to only take the old incandescence bulbs. Now I know.
steinmae thanks for adding information (:
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
i have a problem, in my home, my outer garage lights won't turn on & i have already tried to replace the light bulbs & even checked where the breakers are incase if anything is tripped, buf it isnt, what is the problem? & how can i fix it?
Outer garage lights, do you mean on the opener or outside the house?
Sorry for the late reply, haven’t had access for a while
Checked my contact and there was no corrosion at all. I just had to tighten my bulb a bit more.
Sometimes that’s all it is 👍🏻
Would this be the issue if BOTH bulbs aren't turning on??
I’ve seen it before yes could be. It’s an easy solution to try just make sure it’s unplugged when you try.! ( unplug your battery also if you have the backup battery option )
@@GarageDoorGuidance hmmm…neither of them are corroded or dirty. Maybe I need older bulbs since I can here the “click” but no light? 🤷🏻♀️
Try some other bulbs or pull the prong up a little, sometimes it’s just pushed down
@@GarageDoorGuidance will do!
@@GarageDoorGuidance Dang. Did all the things-prongs are touching, using old skool bulbs and still nothing. Sigh. Thanks anyway for the tips!
Both my bulbs stopped working after a close lightening strike. New bulbs did not fix the problem.
Did you figure it out? I’d assume possible logic board short
still didn’t work. what can be the issue?
Jay Flowz if it isn’t that, the lightbulb or the bottom of the lightbulb. You can try changing the socket itself
No, I tried where light cord is plugged in no power there.
?
I replaced with a new socket... still not working. :-(
All connected correctly I imagine ? If so then it’s likely a short on the logic board itself which I have seen before. Only way to fix it then is to replace the logic board unfortunately
@@GarageDoorGuidance Thx! I'll know what to tell the repair guy when I call!
Worked like a charm thank you!!!
