Patriot RSL - Single Gate Will Not Operate

If your Patriot RSL gate opener is not functioning, it's important to test a few things first as it's possible that a transmitter may just be malfunctioning or a minor bug occurred in the system. This may not always be because of a system failure, hardware does on occasion randomly malfunction for seemingly no reason at all but is usually able to be resolved with just a few steps such as the following:

1. Remove the control box cover, locate the Open/Close Command button, and press it to operate the gate.
2. Press the Reset button located above the Open/Close Command button, then press the Open/Close Command button to attempt operation again.
3. When pressing the Open/Close Command button, listen for a clicking sound. If a click is heard, verify the following:
   1. The wire harness is connected to the gear motor cable in the battery compartment.
   2. The 15 amp fuse on the control board is good. If not, replace it using the spare located on the control board. Also check dipswitches 3 and 4 for correct switch settings based on whether the actuator is connected to Gate 1 or Gate 2.
   3. If the switches are correct, the fuse is good, and the harness is connected but a clicking sound is still heard, the battery needs to be load tested to determine its condition. Charge or replace the battery based on the results.
4. If the switches are correct, the fuse is good, and the harness is connected and a clicking sound is heard, the battery needs to be load tested. Charge or replace the battery based on the results.
