Possible Causes

Burned-out bulb, Incompatible LED bulb, Corroded lamp socket, Failed light relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the bulb to cool before handling.

  • Replace bulb: Install a new, opener-compatible bulb (often rough-service or specific LED type recommended by Mighty Mule).
  • Check socket: Inspect the lamp socket for corrosion or burned contacts. Clean lightly or replace the socket if damaged.
  • Test light function: Use the wall console light button (if equipped) to toggle the light. If it never turns on with a known-good bulb, suspect the control board light relay.
  • Board replacement: If the relay is not switching and the socket is good, replace the control board.
