I was replacing a microswitch yesterday (29) the one for the garage down. I also checked the up/down coil and re soldered the 2 wires onto the coil much more solidly. I also tightened the tie wraps I have holding rhe test car. My original problem seemed to be the car was attached too loose and was not making long enough contact to activate the garage. Now when I start up the garage opens and closes but will not stay open.
Any ideas where I went wrong?
I am not getting any tech alerts so the game doesn't want to tell me where to look...

The coil that moves the catch plunger that holds the garage up may have a dirty sleeve and is keeping the plunger from moving over. Try replacing that coil sleeve and cleaning the plunger.
