My garage door opener has a light bulb that turns on when motor is used. Very helpful when returning at night in the dark. Lately, however, the bulb won't turn on. If I reach up and tighten it a bit it does, but after a few days it goes dark once again.
The bulb is not making contact inside the socket. I saw a little metal tab on one side, pulled it out a bit, and that fixed the problem, but only for a few days. I guess the metal tab is permanently flattened to one side.
Any suggestions on what I can do to remedy this problem of the light bulb no longer having adequate contact inside the socket? The socket itself is not removable.
