Craftsman 1/2 hp garage door opener will not work - no power at all?

We tried to program an opener in my husband's truck & this morning none of the remotes, wall buttons or my husband's truck would open the door. The light will not come on & my husband's truck was dead! We had to jump the vehicle. Is there a battery to be replaced in the garage opener; could the two not working be related?? I tried unplugging the unit & there is still NO life. HELP!

  1. i think god is mad at you
  2. Replace the truck battery and the garage door opener.
  3. Check the breaker in the switch box and make sure it is on. If the breaker is on then you may have the garage opener on a ground fault receptacle. If you have one in the garage then the power to the opener may be from the ground fault. On the ground fault receptacle you need to push the reset button. Either way it has to be an electrical problem. Good luck.
  4. if your wall button and you have nothing on operator you probably have a bad board. look on back of operator where your wires plug in. There should be a little button 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch button. There will be a little LED light beside it. Press a remote button and watch it if it lights up you have power to opener. If it does not light your board went out. Was there a storm last night in your area? You might have got hit by lightning
