Ok. Ive looked and looked about a schematic for this circuit board and cant find it anywhere and I need help. I am an absolute novice at this, have never done or attempted to do anythinf like this before and I need some help.

I'm trying to make a rotisserie out of a garage door opener(just because, thats why). As I was trying to re wire a couple of things I'm pretty sure I blew the fuse. My problem lies because I hooked it up and everything works great, except after about 20 seconds of running it just shuts itself off and has to "reboot" I guess for about 5 minutes before it'll turn on again, or I have to unplug and plug it back in. Now i tried bypassing the 2 boards all together and just supply the motor with power and that didn't work because it just sounds like an electric impact wrench and wasnt even turning. In the little research I've done about pcb's I have a very small idea what could be happening but do not know where or how to trace it or any of that. Now I have pictures of the boards if they are needed but the primary board is a 34462-A REV C(this is where the main power supply is soldered into) and the secondary board is a 34018A-REV G.

I just wanna know how to bypass the auto shut off and keep it running til the power is turned off to it. Again, I'm gonna need an explanation in a very understandable way without knowing all the proper "techie nomenclature" and thanks for the help guys, I need it.

we are going to need a LOT MORE info from you to be able to help you

what sort of motor ?
voltage / current ?

what do these control boards look like ?
photos of them and the motor

A motor for a garage door opener is probably not rated for continuous operation. It is most likely overheating and the controller is shutting it down.

I thought the same thing, I felt around on things and nothing was hot. Is there something I can disconnect to keep it from shitting off tho? Don't really care if the motor burns up, it was free anyways, just wanna know if there is a way around the auto shut off.
