  If your Overhead Door Garage Door Opener does NOT run from the wall console: * Turn Sure-Lock™ OFF. * Check the power source by plugging a lamp into the outlet used for the powerhead. If the lamp works, the power source is OK. If not, check the fuse or circuit breaker. * If power is OK, check the connections at the powerhead terminals and at the wall console. * Check for reversed, broken, or cut wires. Staples can cut insulation and short wires; repair or replace them if needed.
