    Electric gate will close but not open ???

    Hi guys, any help would be appreciated.
    I have a 2 panels electric gate; the right panel works fine, but the left panel will not response to the open button. However, if I open it manualy then it will close with the remote.
    I open the control board but dont know what to look for, All I can see is maybe something to do with the 4 clear plastic boxes "switch" response when I press the remote.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated

      Thank for your reply, it's a Elite Swing Gate, 240 down to 24volts. I checked and reconnected all wiring. Both motors on each gate panel has a limit swith, nothing in their way.

      In the main control board there is a row of 4 clear plastic switch boxes, when I press the remote, the switches in those 4 clear plastic box jump up & down; I suspect 1 of those is faulty but dont know how to identify the faulty one.

                  if your doing that then 2x 'far' shots of the board and two close ups of the board. - both sides

                          OK, not his MO, but use the STALK botton and look for member Fallen.
                          (there are others).

                          Chances are he is ONLY 10,000KM away from you, see if he can assist.

                              Sounds like a safety circuit is operating here. Try to identify the safety circuits on your electronic panel and link them out. Safety circuits on door and gate leafs generally are normally closed. Link out any safeties connected to the gate that is not opening.
