What we see on Ghost Controls gates in Leonard
A Ghost Controls TSS1 or TDS2 on a Leonard farm gate depends entirely on its battery and solar panel. Battery capacity falls off with age and summer heat, and the result is slow travel, partial opening or a gate that only responds sometimes. Fire ants move into the warm control box and short the board or receiver. Clay heave and shrink push posts out of line, shifting the arm mounting bracket and making the gate harder to move. Wind and storms across open farmland add strain and surges.
We open the control box first, clear any ants, and check for moisture and damaged contacts. Then we test the battery under load and the panel output. Next we check the arm gear and mounting bracket for wear or movement, and the post. Remote and keypad pairing is restored after any battery or board work. Many Ghost Controls units on farms west of town were self-installed, and we service those as readily as any other, often correcting the mounting geometry while we are there.

Ghost Controls gate repair in Leonard: questions
Our Ghost Controls gate in Leonard responds only sometimes. Why?
A weak battery or a failing receiver are the usual causes, and fire ants in the control box can short either one. We open the box, check for ants and moisture, test the battery under load, and test the receiver. Re-pairing the remotes after a battery change often restores reliable response.
Can a Ghost Controls arm bracket move with the soil?
Yes. When clay moves the post, the arm’s mounting geometry changes, and the gate becomes harder to move or stops short. The bracket can also loosen. We check the post and bracket, reset or re-anchor them, and adjust the arm so the gate opens fully without straining the operator.
