How to replace the light socket

To replace the light socket, follow the steps below:

1. Unplug the garage door opener.
2. If the opener has a back-up battery, unplug the battery.
3. Remove the end panel. (held on by two screws at the top and one or two screws at the bottom)
4. The wire harness for the light socket has 2 wires, one wire is orange, one wire is white. Unplug the two wires.
5. The light socket has a tab that secures the light socket to the end panel. Use a screw driver and press down on this tab to compress the tab. Requires a little force. Push the light socket out of the end panel.
6. Insert the new light socket in the end panel. Requires effort to push the tab in place.
7. Reconnect the orange and white wires to the back of the light socket.
8. Push the end panel back towards the motor head, replace the screws in the end panel.
9. Inside the light socket there are 2 copper tabs, one is on the side, one is on the bottom. Use a small screw driver to pull up the 2 copper tabs a little. (this ensures that the contacts are making good contact with the light bulb)
10. Replace the light bulb.
11. If this opener has a back-up battery, plug in the battery.
12. Plug in the garage door opener.
13. Press the door control or remote control.

When the opener is plugged in or when the motor runs, the light in the opener should turn on.
