Genie excelerator 2 has two red led lights that will not go out. Garage door opener won't do anything! I just bought it today! How do I reset it back to normal?

The little button with a padlock on the wall control is a "vacation" lockout feature that disables the remotes. There should be a small LED on the wall control that is always on steady. When the padlock button is pressed and released the LED should be constantly blinking (indicating the vacation lockout mode is active) and your remotes should be disabled. The wall control will still operate the door. Pushing the padlock button again should make the LED stop blinking and restore the door to normal operation.

In most cases, when a garage
door opens or closes by itself, or when you find your door open, upon
returning home, the problem is due to a short somewhere. This short
is most likely to be in one of two places: either in one of your
transmitters or in the wall button or its wiring.
When there is a short in your garage door transmitter, you will
often find the garage door is up upon returning home, even though you
know you closed the door when you left the house. A short in your
transmitter causes a continues signal to be sent. As you are pulling
out of the driveway the garage door closes fully and appears to stop,
but as the carriage and arm run past the down limit and hits the
header bracket it reverses, and the door begins to open, just as you
start driving off down the road. You come home to find the garage
door is up, as if someone else had opened your door. The best thing
to do to troubleshoot the garage door problem is remove the batteries
from your transmitters and try operating the door from the wall
button. If the problem is intermittent, you may want to do this for a
day or two to eliminate the transmitters as the culprit.
If the problem persists, try removing the wall button wire at the
motor head to ensure it is not a short in the wire to the button,
then try operating the garage door with the transmitters only. If it
stops the problem, replace the wires and test the wall button. It is
a process of elimination.
Clear out anything previously
programmed into the in-car system from the factory by holding down
on the 2-outside buttons simultaneously, until the in-car LED starts
flashing rapidly. This may take up to a minute (in most cases, the
key should be on auxilary, and/or the car door must be shut).
Decide which button you want to
make to be your in-car garage door transmitter. Hold your
transmitter up near the selected button, pressing both the garage
door remote and the selected in-car transmitter button
simultaneously. Hold down on the buttons until the in-car, LED light
flashes rapidly. This sets the in-car remote transmitter to be your
garage door openers make transmitter, but you are not done. You now
need to make this in-car transmitter your personal transmitter.
3. Go to the
Learn Button on your garage door opener. The button is usually next
to the area where the floppy antenna is connected to the motor head.
With Genie it is most often behind the light lens, and an indicator
light flashes red when pressed. With Sears or Liftmaster
(Chamberlain) it is near, or part of, the terminal screw board, and
is a red, green or purple square button with a green, amber or
purple indicator light. Press this learn button momentarily. The
indicator light will turn on and blink if Genie or otherwise stay
lit. For Genie systems, go back to the in-car transmitter button you
programmed and press this button 3 or 4 times, or until the door
starts moving. This should set your in-car transmitter to your
garage door opener. For Liftmaster, Sears, or Linear Megacode press
and hold the in-car button you programmed until the garage opener
light flashes. Your in-car is now programmed to operate your door.
