A blinking garage door sensor in Cicero almost always means the two photo-eyes aren't seeing each other. It's usually a quick alignment or cleaning.

Living with Cicero's freezing winters means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. summer storms surge openers and road salt corrodes hardware both feed straight into a garage door sensor blinking, which is why our Cook County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.
