Craftsman 1/2 HP CHain Drive Garage Door Opener with Security Anti-Burglary Coding - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Rest the opener?
You will find a button (smart/learn) just to the left of where all those white wires go on the Unit installed inside the garage to open the door. Press and hold it for 6 seconds. This will erase the memory in the opener and your remote should no longer work. Now press and hold the large button on your remote and then press and immediately release the smart/learn button on the garage unit. Your unit is now reprogrammed.
My remote controls only work when I am in the garage
Are you sure that the replacement batteries are good? Test them for current output before installing? How about the antenna that is affixed to door opener - is it there to receive the remote's signal?
If batts are good as well as the antenna then the receiver portion of the opener has lost gain and is in need of repair.
How do I make it stop at 6 inches open using my car remote?
You have to press the button on the remote 3 times allowing for the little delay that comes with remotes. the wall switch is easier because it is wired directly to the opener. you will also find it sometimes works easier if you start with the door all of the way down.

My first question is, have you checked your spring? 95% of the time when we at AGS - Home Services, Garage Door Division hear this complaint it is because the spring is broken. If not, then check to make sure nothing is obstructing the door's travel, make sure your lock is not engaged, make sure you have nothing stored around the tracks of the door. Then check your force setting, it should around 4-7. If it's low, increase the setting and see if that helps. If it does, then you need to have a garage door technician come and adjust your springs as they are set too heavy. Then they can readjust the force once the springs are corrected. Good luck.
