Default Garage door problems

We had a power outage and I had to disconnect the garage door from the power chain in order to manually open the door. I attempted to reconnect the door to the chainwhen power was restored but failed a few times as it wouldnt engage. Now the door is flashing red and green simultaneously. I tried the reset button and the door either flashes red and green simultaneously or alternately blinks red, then green then red etc. Is there a solution to this problem?

I don't know, but Ryan O'Cull, 352-207-5668, or Scott, 352-697-0321 will fix it.

I wouldn't mess with it myself, unless you really know what you are doing. It could be dangerous. Most garage doors have a rope with a red handle to pull to disengage the motor.

Default Lever engagement

Run your garage door track all the way up even if the door stays down. Then make sure your handle is in the down engage mode. Then run your track all the way closed. The lever to the T handle rope attachment SHOULD engage. If you have a second door to view, you can see what I mean.

What make of door is it?
I had a Genie door opener and had my up and down adjustment go goofy with those same flashing lights.
I called their 800 # and they walked me through it.

The problem is the chain will not activate at all with remote or wall. Blinking red and green lights are shown on the motor. I tried to reset the moto but would not reset. Unplugged, plugged back in. Used a paper clip to attempt to reset. Cant do it.

Just a thought...
Did you check to make sure the sensors (across the bottom of the door opening) were clear and "looking" at each other?
