If all 3 of these are true, I would consider changing the receiver logic board:(1) The hardwired button in the garage operates the door opener correctly.(2) Neither the remote in the car, nor the remote on the outside of the garage work.(3) The remote in the car has been re-programmed (again) to match the opener - but it still doesn't work.I think the receiver board is sometimes damaged by nearby lightning strikes.Actually, I purchased a new remote for the car first and tried that. However, when that didn't work, I bought the receiver board. Replacing the receiver board solved the problem!Good luck!

Easiest way is to call the service number on the owners manual. The service rep walks through a series of questions and then determines the problem. You then say thanks and look up the part on Amazon. It cost about a third less.

When you garage door is not opening that is the indication that your logic board gave up the ghost and it's time to get a new one.

I just had a better idea. You would be better off wiring the receiver straight to the buttons of your dodge.this way you can use the new remote anywhere and open and close your garage door. I believe you can do this much easier then trying to find out all the other info needed to make your idea work. Just a thought.

I don't know. I suggest you contact the maker of your door opener. Their tech person should be able to give that info to you.

Contact harmans customer service by phone, i found them very helpful the few times i did.. It could be a software update that you could do yourself or something small that an authorized repair center near you can for a lot less then the cost of a new receiver..good luck with it!

I replaced boards, 2 green and 2 blue over 6 years. I'm done with mighty mule. I now use a garage door opener turned on its side covered with a plastic garbage can. Way cheeper and has been working perfect.

I have a Craftsman that had the 41A5021-C logic board and I replaced the board with the 41A5021-I almost a year ago and have had no problems.

When I replaced mine, I went by the specs on the old opener as it was all that I had. I also had an 8 digit code. Mine has worked fine since I purchased it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It should still work. The new remote picks up the original signal from the garage door motor. It does not reprogram anything.

what you need to do is check your original garage door opener and find the type and model it is then buy another one just like the one you had, then you will be able to program it with your garage door opener.

Hey Ray, I happen to be a garage door technician. First of all I would recommend you to buy new 2032 batteries for the remotes and try that (you might need to re-program them once you put in new batteries). Make sure you put them in the correct way with the negative side down. If that doesn't work then it's definitely a logic board issue. If you replace the logic board, make sure you unplug the unit first. After you finish puttingin the new logic board you'll need to program all remotes and keypad. I hope this helps you

I had the same issue. Mine works fine. Based on what I have read, the "M" is just a revision. Make sure power is cut to the opener before you start work on it. Also remember you will need to re-program the unit to open with yuor garage door opener.

I wouldn't risk it. Try to get a logic board that was made for your manufacturer of garage door.

Follow the instructions in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETUB7YPtsIk (same as Peter's instruction).If the push button on the old combination receiver/wall button is good, everything should work.If the push button on the old combo unit is bad, it can be replaced with a simple door bell push button.

I just responded to the question and I should have read the other answers first. From them it is probably a safe bet that your problem is the logic board. I would start there and try the replacement yourself. Not knowing your background I don't know if you are comfortable with this or not but it is fairly easy. And as I said their customer service is very helpful. I did have to reprogram the remotes but that is a cinch. Customer service walked me thru adjusting the stops, they said this is needed about 50% of the time.

it might not need change out. I found that all I needed to replace the plastic gears for about $25.00. better than $150.00 for new one. if you have to replace your garage door opener you can just buy any opener, but you might have to change the sensors not a big deal.

I am not familiar with your opener, but if it has 12 "dip switches" in it and it is more than 20 years old, this is worth investigating further.
