Your welcome

Yep. Even if I tape sensors together, it still does not work

The force down sensor in the opener itself , might need adjusting. It’s acting like it has touched something on the way down and is responding accordingly.

Yes, just follow video. Take both sensors and wrap them up.

No, everything is smooth. I put a remote by my door because my wire was cut during remodel

👍

I Know!

The garage door won’t close

So

Definition: Disable, to make ineffective

@@fleming1124 He didn't bypass them. He just taped them together. There are already 97 videos showing that. Nothing novel about this

I don’t know

Seemingly yes. But I'm unsure how smart the circuit is. In other words, if the sensors are just completing a circuit then Yes, removing sensors and connecting wires would keep the circuit complete/unbroken. But if the sensors send a reference signal back to a processor that determines if the circuit is open or closed, then NO it will not work. I would imagine older/cheaper systems are the first way, and newer higher tech systems are probably processor/asic controlled. 100% just using logic and basic knowledge of circuits. I'm here because I have questions as well

One guy's video shows that when your foot blocks the infrared signal (you know, the "laser bean") then the sensor is using 140 milliamps. But, when the area is clear of all obstacles, and the sensor reads the signal just fine, then the green LED comes on, and the sensor now uses 40 milliamps more than before. The unit on the cieling actually detects this 40 milliamp difference. Wow. So crazy. So, just stick a 40 milliamps led across the two wires on your sensor, and that should be enough to fool the unit in the cieling.

@@MultiPleaser That's great! Can you explain, to a dumb layman like me, how that would work? What should I buy and do exactly?

@@jackwilliams5474 First thing is to measure the voltage, because that has to be right, because too much will fry anything electronic, especially little LEDs. I measured my sensor last night at 6 volts. That means I need 3 typical RadioShack LEDs in a row, in series, because they are usually 2 volts each. In some decorations you'll find really bright 6 volt LEDs. That might be a better option. Easier, anyway. Might even draw enough milliamps. Three of the 2 volt LEDs would be around 60 milliamps. That might be enough, worth a try. All you need to do is make sure the positive lead on the first LED is connected to the positive wire going into the sensor. The positive lead is the one connected to the SMALLER blob of metal inside the LED. It's the opposite of what you might think. If you get it backwards, the LED will be fried. Good thing they only cost 20 cents (before covid). I already started a video. Just need to hunt down some LEDs to see if it will actually work..

You can never fully disable them. It’s built into the unit itself that the door will never close without the safety sensors being aligned. However this is a form of bypass for the fact that nothing can interfere with the sensors being lined up.

@@toddsimister71 Right, but what if it's lined up but door still doesnt close without holding button?

Well do it and post the reason.

Boo hoo. You must work for Chamberlain.

That doesn't even warrant a response. You can't fix stupid.
