    Here’s a simple tip I got from this and another video. Look for the two colored wires that control which door you are having the issue with. You may need to remove the door or find schematic. You may also have a connection with two small grey wires on one of the contacts. Take a paper clip between the two wire connection and a main wire. Get a piece of wire from the other unused wire and touch ground and it will roll up or down. It didn’t short my system.
