I open the garage door with the wall button, but it will not close with the remote until the light goes out. The remote works fine when I get home because the light is out. Any ideas? Thank you.

When did it start doing this? What brand and model is the opener

Hello,
It is about 14 years old. It is a Craftsman and the model is 139.536SRT3. The problem just started about 3 weeks ago. I tried to shorten the time that the light stays on so I could just wait to to close the door, but the time is not adjustable. Strange isn't it? Thanks for your response.
