Change the sensor and make sure the magnet comes close enough to activate it. Sometimes I have even changed the magnetic ones for real switches too.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. Interesting you mention a magnet. I don't see one unless its built into the carriage."
There are two kinds of limit switches used with modern Genie openers. The simpler design has a lever that projects down a couple of inches and activates a simple connection. The fancier design uses magnet(s) hidden in the carrier (the piece that moves when the opener is activated); these magnets activate reed relays in the limit switches, so there are no levers with these units. The simple lever switches are what have been supplied with most openers over the years.
