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

In Milwaukee, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door sensor blinking. Months of sub-zero cold mean deep cold snaps springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Milwaukee County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.
