Or replaced. In any case that seems to be the problem. Take a
good look at the wires to make sure they are intact.

I don't think there are limit switches in any current vintage garage
door openers. They measure movement by counting pulses from the gear
drive.


I just checked the Genie site and they still show limit switches on
their description of how they work.
