Have to hold down garage door button to open.

To open my garage door i have to hold down the button on my wall until the door is at least halfway up. I have a genie intellicode. I tried resetting them but now the large button opens both doors at the same time. The remote control in my car will not work at all.

The remotes do not work the same and will not open the door at all.

Garage door will only open if i hold the opener button. So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning.

Hold your transmitter up near the selected button pressing both the garage door remote and the selected in car transmitter button simultaneously. Wait at least 30 minutes then try the console again. Generally 30 minutes of inactivity will allow most models enough time to reset. Hold down on the buttons until the in car red light flashes rapidly.

Why do i have to hold down the button to close the garage door. It closes fine but will only open if i hold the opener button down. I have 2 craftsman 1 2 hp door openers each car has a remote and i am trying to get my remote to open with the large button on the remote and my wife s door to open with the other button. The amount of time it takes for the protector to reset depends on the model.

After i hold the button down to close it the sensor lights come back on. When the door is up the sensor lights are off. I ve made sure there are no obstacles and that the sensors are aligned properly. My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down.
