You have saved me so much $$$$ over the years with this video! Thank you!!

Perfect. Solved my problem!!

Should be noted you want STABILIZED

Thank you very much it has solved my problem👍🏻

Yeah but are your chlorine tablets the very same chemical components as the Frog 🐸? "Cheap"er chlorine tablets are really bad for your pool

Im have this issue on 2004 but they say spped sensor on transfer case😢😢😢

👍

Great frickin idea!!! Thanks. These things get more and more expensive every year!!!

Thank you! Worked just like you said!

Well...I have to tell ya, I thought this won't work for me. Especially after I looked at perfectly clean metal contacts. I wiped them with sandpaper anyway and TA-DA! My garage door works again!! Thank you Kirk for taking the time to show us all this simple method that saved us all an incredible amount of time and money. This literally took less than 5 minutes.

I just bought six of the wrong gd bac pacs, they say for all of these models and the first 3 were the same first three listed on the original, guess what, they don't fit. Thanks for the tip I am now going to transfer the contents over

My truck 08 f150 Lariat has no box behind mirror and my compass indicator is on dash like yours.

So what is the lever for bc I did this and mine wasn't moving and I pulled harder and the lever snapped off idk what to do

Will this work on a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox cause i live with one keyfob the buttons are wearing out

What Was The Problem? My 2004 Is Having Issues With Engaging Out Of 4x4? First Start Would Automatically Be In 4x4 Low? Having To Push Selector Buttons Over And Over To Switch Into Auto AWD?

It's 2024 and my brother's unit is giving the same problem....guess i found the solution !!!! Thanks I also need to change the emergency cord as his own has dry rotted and broke off 😔😔😔

Ok i am a do it myself when it comes to auto repair and my thought would be if you took the time to disasemble all that why not just go a little bit further and repair it yourself rite!! don't see the point in tacking it that far apart and then not finishing it correctly

Well done explaining and showing thanks

Long video without really showing anything

Well it's 2024 and my opener developed the same symptom. In my case it would stop and then next day operate ok only to stop again. So I looked at the section you showed and that was the problem as well. I'm assuming the damage is from sparking???? Anyway, I cleaned both contacts and it's working good now. Very good opener except for this flaw in the design. I plan to see if these contacts can be purchased and replaced without too much effort. Thanks much!!!!

Spot on. Thanks for posting. I really do like the concept of direct drive and both of mine have been trouble free for 10 years, but this was obviously a weak spot.

This is awesome. I'm gonna try it.

Hey kirk you are the man thank you R.W.S.

Saved my bacon man.

This! After my third replacement I've just switched to this method. I'll put a new one in before I sell it so they can have it work fora few months.

Any idea how to program to cars garage opener button? Mine is not working. Its picking up the signal i can tell by the little lights flashing. But nothing.

This was so spot on and we had success after doing exactly what is shown here. Thank you so much! My spouse thinks I am a genius

Thank you a thousand times !!!!!! My Sommer opener stopped working last night. The manual was of no help. I would have never thought of this fix. I was preparing to have to replace it. Tried your fix, 5 minutes later and bingo, a working opener again! May your name live among the stars forever.

So no way to fix, just replace?

Thanks Kirk! 6 years later and your gift keeps on giving :) You provided the exact diagnosis and resolution to the Sommer DirectDrive garage door opener corroded contact problem. It is a simple to fix, but not obvious to diagnose problem. It's people like you who take the time to share solutions like this, that makes the internet go-round.

Actually after I closed the door and swapped the keys almost within a spilt second and let it run for 30 seconds it worked ☺️ Thank you sir!

I’m having trouble with this on my 2011 equinox. Any advice?

if your ford explorer is a little different, your lever might be on the bottom panel and you either have a little plastic arm like i have, or you have a spot where you can put a torx driver in and adjust it. i have a ford explorer 2006 here's a video here showing where it is ruclips.net/video/sly6G30XRTw/видео.html&ab_channel=ricksterq

Perfect fix!!!! Exactly as you described! Thank you thank you!

Thank you so much!!! Years after you posted this video - you saved me hundreds, hundreds of dollars. I got my garage door opener 10 years ago from Costco - and when it quit working, I figured I'd need to replace the entire unit. I was considering a new door as well - so you likely saved me thousands. I looked in my owner's manual and found nothing that was of any help and then I came across your video last night. I went to bed without any worries because I was convinced that it would be an easy fix in the morning - and it was. I went out this morning and fixed it in minutes! Requested new contacts from Sommer too, and they are on the way. You're a rockstar!

Hey, Kirk. Thanks for providing this video. Just curious, did you ever replace the actual contact clips on your main unit? After almost 10 years owning my unit, I am just now having this problem. I sanded it down as much as it could be, but the pits were too deep, causing bad or no contact. The unit is still just making that "clicking" noise.

I'm trying this today..have not bought tables in a while I use to store them with lawnmower and gas...can I still do that?

that was the problem I fixed it thanks for the tip

Can you use granulated chlorine

Thanks for sharing your video.

I’ve got an 08 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and I can’t get my compass to set the correct direction. Why didn’t it work for me.

Thanks! Did you discover if the contacts are replaceable?

Excellent.....THANK YOU!

Kirk thanks for the YT. You diagnosed my problem and the fix.👍👍

I inherited a Sommer operator when I bought my home. Please take a look at all these comments, each expressing a problem. Why would anyone buy one of these? The documentation is terrible, and the product support is lackluster at best. Unfortunately, my issue isn't covered here.

Big thanks from Canada. This solution is so simple and you saved me a pile of money. You are Captain Kirk in my eyes!!!🤩

Thank you so much

Este canal me gusto fácil ybarato gracias 🙏🏻 no mucho no y💰🤣🙋🏻‍♂️

Thanks Kirk! Your video is still helping people! I'm heading out to the garage to fix my contacts now.😀
