Possible Causes

Dead keypad battery, corroded battery contacts, keypad not programmed, or water intrusion into the keypad.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not use metal tools inside the keypad that could short the battery terminals.

  • Replace battery: Open the keypad cover and replace the battery (usually a 9V or coin cell) with a new, high-quality battery. Ensure correct polarity.
  • Clean contacts: If there is white or green corrosion on the battery terminals, gently clean with a cotton swab and a small amount of contact cleaner, then dry thoroughly.
  • Reprogram keypad: Press the opener's LEARN button. Within 30 seconds, enter your desired 4-digit PIN on the keypad and press the ENTER key. The opener light should blink to confirm.
  • Check mounting location: Ensure the keypad is within range of the opener and not mounted on metal that could block the signal.
  • Replace keypad: If the keypad still does not light or respond after battery replacement and reprogramming, install a new Craftsman-compatible wireless keypad.
