Possible Causes
Incorrect bulb type causing interference, Loose lamp socket, Failed light relay or triac on logic board, Corroded lamp contacts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow bulbs to cool before handling. Use only bulbs within the wattage rating specified by Guardian.
- Use correct bulbs: Replace existing bulbs with garage-door-opener-rated LED or incandescent bulbs of the correct wattage. Avoid CFLs and non-rated LEDs.
- Inspect socket: Check the lamp socket for corrosion or burned contacts. Clean gently or replace the socket if damaged.
- Tighten bulb: Ensure the bulb is screwed in firmly but not overtightened.
- Test without bulb: Remove the bulb and run the opener. If the error clears, the bulb type may have been causing issues.
- Replace logic board: If the light still flickers or will not respond with a known-good bulb and socket, the light control circuit on the Guardian logic board is likely faulty and the board should be replaced.
