On the shaft that controls the arm or gear for the gate movement there will be 2 cams
open the gate and then loosen of one cam and adjust it off the micro switch until the gate is fully open
lightly tension the screw and then close the gate

SOURCE: tail gate

this is a partial solution. Remove the inside panel on the tail gate -- simply remove several screws and pop off the panel. yes, you might break some plastic clips. That exposes the locking mechanism and it's a simple matter to open the tail gate from the inside now. See the rod with the threaded fitting? Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to adjust the rod that operates the lock, so I've just left the inside panel off for now ;-)

SOURCE: gate light on even when gate is closed

Open gate and find where the wiring enters the gate (bottom of door) pull back the rubber insulator and check for broken wires or wires touching each other.

look for a loose wire and faulty earth check for wires shorting out to earth

Testimonial: "Can you advise me how to check for a wire that may be shorting to earth? I disconnected the battery terminal and switched off the mains and then re-connected and seems to be working ok now but for future reference and just general knowledge I would like to learn how to test for a shorting wire. I have a multi-meter."

Elite gate opener...is there a way to defeat the latching delay?

The latching delay is an important safety feature on an Elite gate opener, and it is not recommended to defeat it. The purpose of the delay is to ensure that the gate is fully closed and in the correct position before the magnet engages to latch the gate. Disabling the delay could cause the gate to not close properly, which could be a safety hazard and may also damage the gate and the gate opener.
If the magnet is not grabbing the gate on the first impact, there could be several reasons for this. One possible cause is that the magnet is not properly positioned, which could cause it to miss the gate on the first impact. In this case, adjusting the magnet's position may help.
Another possible cause is that the gate is not aligned properly, which could prevent the magnet from making contact with the gate on the first impact. In this case, adjusting the gate's alignment may help.
It is recommended to refer to the owner's manual for your Elite gate opener to learn more about the proper position and alignment of the magnet and the gate.

Sliding gate pauses and shakes when it first starts, both opening and closing. Does this for a while, going very slow, then smooths out and closes and opens ok.

most sliding gates suffer form dirt, grass , rocks in the gate track so constant cleaning of that track is essential
small twigs , rocks will slide along with the wheels on opening but are an obstruction for the wheels on closing
most closing gates run a cog and rack system at the bottom ot the gate so check that the mesh of the rack and cog is correct at either end

Lift gate will not power down to closed when button on gate or remote is pushed. Lights do flash though.

There are switches on both ends of the course of the motor, if one fails it will only work on the side that´s ok. That´s why it opens but do not close.Check it out.

Gemini gate motor

Check if it has stops anywhere in the system, usually there are micro switches that are activated by arms, etc that tell it how far to open and close. You may need to adjust them.

You can hear my gate motor working, but the gate does not open or close. you can open and close the gate by hand. it is as if the gear does not engage

Your manual override is active. This disengages the gearbox from running the gate. You will need to release the manual override. What make and model gate motor is it?

Moonroof wont close all the way

Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuit's with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? When adjusting the moon roof did you see any switches ? sunroof limit switch
Measure the reference voltage of the sunroof limit switch soft stop signal circuit at the sunroof control harness connector to a good ground.
Does the reference voltage measure near the specified value?
4.5-5.5 V
Notice: Do not open the sunroof glass past the full open soft stop position. Doing so may damage the sunroof assembly and or the roof top.
Connect a jumper wire to the sunroof limit switch soft stop signal circuit at the sunroof control module harness to a good ground.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Using the sunroof switch, operate the sunroof system, not to exceed the full open soft stop position.
Does the system operate as requested?

Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? Free one's here
http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year ,make ,model an engine size . Under system click body & accessories ,then under subsystem click on sun roof . Click the search button then the blue link . See the control module , motor an the two switches ? One is probably miss adjusted . or bad !

Power Sunroof System Components
The power sunroof system consists of the following components:
• Sunroof control module
• Sunroof motor with the limit switches
• Sunroof switch
• Sunroof glass-spoiler type, with glass sliding above roof
• Sunshade
• Rail and track assembly upon which the sunroof glass rides
• Power sunroof system circuit breaker: PWR WDO 25 A
• Ground: G204

Sunroof Limit Switches
The sunroof limit switches track the position of the sunroof glass through two limit switches:
• Soft Stop limit switch through the sunroof limit switch soft stop signal circuit
• Vent Stop limit switch through the sunroof limit switch range signal circuit
The sunroof control module monitors the limit switches and based on the input combinations, determines the position of the sunroof glass. As a sunroof limit switch closes, the 5 volt reference will be shorted to the sunroof limit switch low reference circuit, pulling the 5 volt reference to 0 volts.
The sunroof control module monitors both sunroof switch input requests and based on the sunroof limit switch input combinations, will control an output to the sunroof motor, to drive the sunroof glass to the requested position.

Sunroof Motor
The sunroof has a bi-directional motor. When the motor is not operating both circuits are grounded. When the motor drives the sunroof glass in the direction from the closed to vent or vent to open position, the following occurs:
• Voltage is supplied to the sunroof motor open circuit.
• Ground is maintained to the sunroof motor close circuit.
When the motor drives the sunroof in the direction from the open to vent or vent to closed position, the following occurs:
• Voltage is supplied to the sunroof motor close circuit.
• Ground is maintained to the sunroof motor open circuit.
The sunroof control module is equipped with a timer circuit which stops the operation of the sunroof motor after 8 seconds.
