Possible Causes

Failed light relay on logic board, Shorted light socket, Incorrect bulb type drawing excessive current, Damaged light wiring harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before changing bulbs or accessing internal wiring.

  • Use correct bulbs: Wayne Dalton openers typically specify a maximum wattage and bulb type. Replace with the recommended LED or incandescent bulbs that are "garage door opener compatible".
  • Inspect sockets: Remove bulbs and inspect the sockets for corrosion, heat damage, or bent contacts. Clean or replace sockets if damaged.
  • Test without bulbs: Remove all bulbs and restore power. If the F12 indication clears, one of the bulbs or sockets may be shorted. Replace bulbs one at a time to identify the problem.
  • Board-level fault: If the lights stay on constantly or never come on despite correct bulbs and wiring, the light relay on the logic board is likely stuck or open. Replace the logic board.
