When alignment and cleaning don't solve it, the wiring itself is next — a connection that's corroded or come loose at the terminal will read the same as a blocked beam to the opener, and a garage door sensor won't close call like that needs the wire traced, not just the lens wiped.

Garage door sensor won't close and Jersey Village's flood mitigation
Jersey Village stayed largely dry during Hurricane Harvey, with water held inside White Oak Bayou's banks, and the city has since put money into the White Oak Bayou improvement program with Harris County and published its own Long Term Flood Recovery Plan. That mitigation history means fewer sensor systems here trace their fault back to storm water damage compared to towns that flooded outright — most Jersey Village sensor won't close calls are wear and alignment, not corrosion from a flood.
