With most garage door openers, you can look under the light bulb cover and you'll find two numbered knobs. These knobs set the motor torque/speed ratio. Basically, if the door is really smooth having the knob turned down will make the motor go faster. Turning the knob up will give the motor move "oomp" but it will move a little slower. One knob adjusts the power going up and the other knob adjusts the power going down. This basically depends on how good the springs are working on the door itself. So just adjust the knobs until the motor is running each direction "comfortably".

My power window and door locks fuse keeps blowing.

When the fuse blows figure out what you are doing, what switch is being pressed, then remove the needed panels to access the wiring to the switch and motor it operates, then you will find the damaged wiring and repair the short, no quick fix, just hard grunt work.

Sony CDP C-85ES cd player stops and/or shuts down

I have the same player and had this problem. I solved it by getting a spray electrical contact cleaner and cleaning the power button. After spraying inside the button, I just cycled the button a few dozen times and the problem went away.

Nordic Track C2000 starts and then stops.

Have you lubricated the the running deck? The lack of lubrication can increase friction thus causing the current over load circuit to activate thus shutting down the unit to prevent further damage, Go to your local hard ware store and purchase silicone spray. Apply Lubricant by lift one side of the running belt spray contents length wise starting at motor shroud to the back end repeat this process on the other side. If this unit shut down again then you will have replace the running belt and possibly the deck

Driverside door lock & window stopped working.

It may seam extremely complex this problem however its likely vary simple.What you need to do is fine out what works and what dose not . Dose the keyless work on other doors the battery is G or NG. You also mention the remote starter stopped working and D and P position no longer works correctly with the controls /switches in the drivers side door only' not the other doors ..
The control panel for the locks and window switches are on the arm rest drivers door it tends to get wet rain snow window open over time bad connections /switch contact and that is the point you need to look at first . Get some electrical contact cleaner spray into the switches not to much spillage use a tube or it may damage trim materials .
Then use the controls back and forth if you see any improvement of function starts /then stops any change you found the problem .Its in the door.

I have a 98 Volvo S90. The electric seats occasionally stop working, then start for no apparent reason. Is there a common fix? Is there a way to manually operate the seats when this happens? My wife is...

Try running the seats back and forth for their FULL travel. Electrical motors do not like sitting so much. Also get some white "lithium grease" NAPA has the best for about 8.00 with tax. Spray the grease onto the tracks. The motors can use a shot of a lighter medium. Try spraying and running the seats all the way front and all the way back 5 times. Do this once a week after that. This should help your seats to operate all the time.
