Garage door opener light problem

You have checked the bulb?

i got a 25 yr. old sears screw drive opener.. my light stopped working.. checked the bulb, No Fix... i then removed the electric panel out of the opener and found out that the solder joint on the board was melted... resoldered it and no problem for the past 2 yrs..... might be your problem?????

Moral of the story:

Throw away old burnt out bulbs right away so you don't use them to check to see if a bulb is burnt out.

Unless I missed something, you gave us a model number, but not the make of the opener. And Google came up dry on the model number.

Telling us who made it might help get you an answer, 'eh?

There is three relays (side by side) on the circuit board, one of the three controls the light, one opens the door, & the other closes the door. Most likely the relay is bad if it is not a loose solder joint, but most garage door people replace the whole board & usually do not stock parts to replace them.

Thanks. I'll keep that info in mind for the next time. But I guess you didn't see my last post re ... :
