I like your posting name I'm tigger. Glad you liked it. Big big huge Disney fanatic!

Thank you I'm tigger

If that works for you, perfect! I do recommend people don't do the stupid things that I do. 🙂 That said, I didn't move mine because of a light issue. It's just a b*tch lining up those sensors (at times) and I was tired of screwing with them so for me, my solution is perfect! Plus it's a good way to test your sensors. 🙂

Ha... awesome! I hate these stupid sensors. You can spend a couple grand for a great garage door opener, then they use $2 in sensor light parts to make it work. Lame. Glad it worked!

Thank YOU for watching! :-)

Yeah, that's harsh. That's why I mounted mine up top and it's been working fine for 4 years + now. but I agree with you 100% 🙂

Thank YOU for watching! :-)

I love this one. Tink is my wife's favorite character, right next to Pluto. :-)

I agree! Thank you. :-)

This particular one was a limited release on DVD. :-) It was sold through doombuggies.com I believe. :-) Thanks for watching!

😅😅 Yes! But be sure you have a band-aid or gauze wrap, before you :snip! snip! snip!". 😁

If your sensors are working (you can test using my method), then this issue is above my pay grade. :-) Hold out your hands as it closes and carefully grab the bottom of the door, as it lowers. It SHOULD start backing up. As it should if anything is in the way (I wouldn't recommend using a child to test this! ;-) ) . It is weird because if the sensors aren't working, it shouldn't close at all. One idea... maybe your door button INSIDE the garage is stuck? Try disconnecting that. You can override the entire thing by holding down that button you have in the garage (not on the unit, likely next to the door that goes into your home). So if that is somehow defective or has the wires crossed, maybe that's it? But back to 'weird', if that's it, your door shouldn't even open. Maybe try the same thing with the sensors by disconnecting them temporarily to see what happens. You'll likely get an error with that however. Like I said, this is above my pay grade... meaning I'm not a door tech, but I am a computer tech. If all still doesn't work properly, you may have to call a professional or if it's cheaper, install an entirely new unit yourself... if you're so inclined. Good Luck!

Hey Aly!! Ha... that's so cool you found this video! It's been exactly 5 years but I think I remember someone getting it for you as a gift? :-) I'm glad it got a good home! It's a really rare piece and I still get messages asking if it's for sale. :-D You know, after losing our family business of 20 years in 2013 I had to start selling a lot of my personal collection. But that said, I've learned to let go and it makes me feels great that people like you are enjoying part of it, and i"ve made a lot of good friends over the years with selling and trading. Thanks for stopping by! Oh, here's my eBay store, which is usually empty only because I sell things VERY quickly after listing them. :-) Have a great day Dan B Gern Blandsten Jr. on Facebook Disneyana_Dan on eBay www.ebay.com/str/thedisneyanaandmorestore Carlsbad CA

You nailed it!... I'm busted! I also put a piece of black electrical tape over that "Check Engine" light on my dashboard. I hate that thing!! 😅😅

@@DisneyDan It wasn't hard.

Hey there! Yeah... having your door open by itself in the middle of the night, or whenever... would be a huge issue. In the 4 years I posted this, I've had nothing like that or heard of it. Many years ago I did find an issue with a neighbor who's garage door opener somehow opened mine a few times, accidently. Which seems impossible. I mean there's a bajillion code combos. Personally, I'd double check your wires from the door opener on your wall that you can press to open, or disconnect it. Then new batteries in the remotes, then be sure the remotes aren't in your pocket ;-) Another thing, you can set your garage door opener sensitivity AND where it ends up stopping, using a couple set screws on it. Look that up for your model. Maybe it's closing too hard into the floor, then opens itself for safety? Seems a stretch, but just another thing to test. Then ... maybe the sensors are defective? Take a week to completely disconnect the sensors and open and close manually (a pain, I know) and if it still does it, then there may be a sensor issue. check those wires as well of course. Then with the sensors, does any random light get into them? a window or garage light? Some have put electrical tape between the sensor eyes. Putting them together, then taping. One even used a toilet paper roll. :-) Good luck finding the issue! Dan B Carlsbad CA

What is $45 on amazon? The sensors? These here are $17 and work perfectly for most models. www.amazon.com/Werhoo-41A5034-Compatible-Liftmaster-Chamberlain/dp/B0B55VXK76

Perfect! Yeah, I hate those sensors... that's why I "snip snipped" em. Great job!

So sorry to hear this! I wish I had an answer for you, but I'm not a professional installer for these. I use duct tape and elbow grease to fix things. But that said, I had to point out the obvious but if your controller isn't working, maybe it needs new batteries? As well, but SURE nothing is in the way of your sensors and be sure they don't wiggle when you open your door.... be sure the screws are tight on the sensors. You may also want to clean the clear lenses on each. Good luck to you!

One of sensors was defective, as shown. Swapping them wouldn't help. :-) My biggest issue is that I hate aligning them and they misalign themselves too much (I believe we have ghosts here at my house!). For me personally, there's no reason for all the issues with these sensors. I mounted them up top as shown 4 years ago, and they still work perfectly every time. I've had no sun, heat, rain, snow, cold or ghost issues with them since. Thanks for watching!! .... and [insert safety disclosure here] stay safe! As said, I don't recommend doing it the way I did. Which works perfectly. For me, and others, who shouldn't do it. 😉 😁

Ha... I agree!! I should have written all those "Idiots Guide to..." books. 😅

Thank you! I'm happy it helped. :-)

Unfortunately no. Well, technically you can build a logic board that bypasses the system, but with the time and money, it's just not worth it. You would think you could just cross connect the wires, but nope. The system looks for the sensors or it doesn't work. Good luck with your system!

@@DisneyDan thank you 👍🏻
