Garage Door Opener



Question:
My garage door opener has decided to act weird. For some reason, it won't close. Keeps reversing itself right away. Works fine going up and will close if I keep pushing the button all the way down. I looked at the usual suspects (something tripping the electric eye, something getting caught so it thinks it is obstructed) and found no likely concerns. The person who originally put the garage door and opener in (two owners ago) did not put in the opener reinforcement kit, which I just completed doing when the problem came up. Anything that maybe I could adjust? Could it be the new angle of the arm that connects the door to the opener is causing some sort of problem?

Answer:
With most garage door openers, if it hits an obstruction (or THINKS it hit an obstruction) and goes back up, the inside light flashes on and off for a few minutes. Does this happen? That could be a clue to what's going on....
