When i used my remote to close the garage it will start and stop and the light just continue to blink. the only way i can get it to close is to continue to hold the button down on the wall

If the door can be pulled up and down manually, and seems smooth and free of restrictions, and doesn't close jerkily.... then there is a fair chance it is the plastic drive gear assembly inside the motor unit has shredded. They only last so long. (Dont know how old your unit is.)
This is what happened on mine. Got a replacement gear assembly for $40 at a garage door installers shop and replaced it. Problem solved. You can actually see a plastic "snow" inside the unit with the cover off where the plastic has shaved over the years. Takes awhile, but not that hard if you're mechanically inclined.
First though, I'd just check to make sure nothing is hanging it up when trying to close. I assume it goes UP just fine, and only gives you this hassle WHEN CLOSING. If all moves smoothly, take the cover off and look for the worn plastic gear and the infamous plastic "snow".
