karlunity Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Fellas Need some advice. Some times the door works when I use the remote..but some times it will not. I changed the batteries and the leds that are supposed to alert..are not flashing. stranger still is the keypad..sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. It is called a "MVP" a chain drive that came with the house. Any ideas? karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerfive Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 the remote has probably been dropped and now there is an intermittent connection to the battery. If it works sometimes and sometimes not, you probably can't see the problem. If you can open the case and gently try moving the wires etc. while watching the LEDs you may get lucky and find the problem. Best of luck to you!

Westcliffe01 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Try to find a users manual for your door opener online. They should identify the type of opener used, they you can go to lowes/Home depot and get a replacement. Then there will be a procedure whereby you put the door opener itself into "learn mode" and depress the new "clicker" to teach it the new code. Then you should be good to go. If you need multiple clickers, get them at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Has worked two times on one of my rentals. The opener was installed in the early 90's and still works. Unplug the unit and plug it back in a few minutes later. You might have to re-set the code. In other words, simply re-start it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sounds like it's time for a new control unit set. You can get aftermarket sets that just trigger the wired switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
