No light at all points at power, wiring, or a fully dead unit. For the whole picture on garage door repair service in Brookshire, start at the town page.

Why a garage door sensor not working differs from one that's misaligned
A sensor with no light at all has either lost power, has a broken wire somewhere in its run, or has failed internally — realignment won't fix any of those. A garage door sensor not working needs that distinction made before anyone starts adjusting brackets.
Garage door sensor not working after flood-affected wiring
Hurricane Harvey left much of the area around the river under several feet of water in Brookshire, with flooding centered where Interstate 10 crosses the Brazos River near town. Wiring run low along a garage wall in a home that took water during that event can carry a break or corrosion that shows up years later as a sensor with no light at all.

The Waller soil series common to this area carries a high water table from December through April in a normal year, and that seasonal humidity can affect connection points gradually, without a flood ever being directly involved.
