Patriot - Gate Only Operates When the “LED INDICATOR” is Pressed

  1. An accessory wiring problem, gate 2 cable spices are wet or a bad control board can cause this, this problem can be intermittent and possibly take a little patience in locating the problem.
  2. Using a DC volt meter take voltage readings on the following connector pins. DO NOT disconnect the J2 plug or actuator cable or cables from the control board when taking these readings.
Readings are DC voltage and must be taken for the open and close position.

  1. Gate 1 (X1) and Gate 2 (X2) actuator connectors - the bottom left and right pins must be measured. Place meter lead in back side of connector where the orange and white wires are located. If no actuator cable is connected then the reading will be on the 2 pins located in the bottom left and right corner of the connector.
  2. Good readings are 5 Vdc or 0 Vdc. Any readings different than this need to be corrected.
  3. Identify the pins with incorrect readings to determine which device or input is bad.
