Neighbor's cat got into my garage when I left the door up. He knocked into one of the sensors which now blinks red (the light on the other sensor is a constant green). Now I can open the door with the remote but I can't close it with the remote. I have to hold the wall button to close it. Can you please tell me how to re-align the sensors? Thank you.
It sounds like there might be a loose wire connection on the inside of the sensor. You could also be moving the position of the sensor slightly into alignment when you squeeze the sensor. You will need to disconnect the wires for the sensor on the garage door opener or disconnect the power. Then use a flatblade screw driver and carefully seperate the sensor case. Check for any loose connections on the wiring(you might need to re-solder the wire to the sensor eye). It sounds like a loose wire connection to me.
Testimonial: "thanks for the acvice. I hadn"t ever opened up one of those sesors, so I didn't know what to look for inside."
