Driveway gate stopped working
Our USAutomatic Patriot gate completely stopped moving. I noticed the
battery power was low. So I hooked up my car battery charger to it (as if I'm doing car jumpstart). Voltage came back up to 12 volts. But pressing the remote control button still only caused a clicking sound on the circuit board; no motor turning sound. I pushed the reset button on the board. Pushed the OPEN/CLOSE COMMAND button. Nothing helped. Any advice is appreciated. Yong Huang |

Sounds like a dead battery and bad contacts to either or both of the battery terminals. -- Leftist Google censors the right http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,331106,00.html Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist. http://www.aim.org/aim-column/print/...munist-mentor/ |
