Possible Causes
Failed light relay on board, Wall console motion sensor stuck ON, Misconfigured light timer setting (on some models)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use bulbs within rated wattage to avoid overheating if the light is stuck on.
Steps:
- Check console motion feature: If your Genie wall console has motion detection, disable it and see if the light turns off after the normal delay.
- Adjust light timer: Some models allow setting the light-on time. Verify it is not set to maximum.
- Test with console disconnected: Remove wall console wires at the opener. If the light still stays on, the relay on the board is likely stuck.
- Replace control board: Install a new Genie control board to restore proper light control.
