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.
