Raynor Pilot

I have a Raynor Pilot Garage Door Opener. For some reason when I replaced the dead light bulb the new one doesn't turn on. When I put it in again, sometimes it flickers for a split second so I know it's kinda working. Is there something I'm not doing right? I've been replacing these bulbs several times since having it for over 16 years and up until now had no problems...

Unplug the operator & remove the cover. You'll see two prongs on the light socket with leads going to the logic board. Make sure that those two wires are on tight. If one is loose it could cause the light to flicker.

I tried this to no avail.

I switched light bulb to normal type and it works! Apparantly, if using those special types, the nipples are shorted and barely touches the contacts as the normal ones do...
