Questions and answers
gate openhalf way and stop
@sye richards
@sye richards 360 opener
The Mighty Mule MM360 gate may open halfway and then stop due to a limit switch issue or a stall force setting problem. The limit switch issue could be related to the control board, which may need replacement. Additionally, if the stall force setting is too low, the gate may stop due to increased resistance, especially in cold weather. Adjusting the stall force setting appropriately may help resolve the issue.

MM360 will not power up after changing fuse on leed from battery
The Mighty Mule MM360 may not power up after changing the fuse on the lead from the battery due to one of the following reasons:
1. No Battery Connection: Ensure the battery is properly connected. If the connection is loose or missing, the unit will not power up.
2. Low Battery Voltage: The battery may be depleted. Check the battery voltage. If the voltage is below ~11.5V in idle state or below ~10.0V while running, the unit may not function properly. Recharge or replace the battery if necessary.
3. Faulty Power Connections: Check the power connections, including the fuse and wiring, to ensure they are secure and correctly installed.
4. Damaged Control Board: If both a transformer and solar panel were connected simultaneously at any point, it could have damaged the control board, preventing the unit from powering up.
Verify these issues systematically to identify the cause.
