light on genie intellicode opener does'nt come on

When I open the garage door, the light refuses to come on. Have tried changing the bulbs, no luck. Can't see anything obvious,(like loose connections, broken wires), and it appears to just be one circuit board for the whole unit. If anyone has had similar problem, what did you find to fix it ?

Welcome to the forums.

Actually a pretty common problem with a lot of automatic door openers. Remove the bulb and look at the center pin of the socket. It will probably be black and possibly bent out of shape.

From the vibration the bulb loosens up and the socket arcs causing the center pin to no longer make a good connection.

Pull the plug on the unit when checking.
