Garage Door Remote Weirdness
3 times now in the last 3 days, I've opened the garage door with the wall button, driven out and used the remote to close the door, but it won't close. Doesn't sense the button being pressed on the remote. So I go back inside, push the wall button and go back out to the car.
Coming home, each time, I point the remote towards the door from 60 feet away or more.....and it opens right up. How can it NOT sense the signal when I'm 10 to 12 feet away after having just pulled out of the garage, but it's got it just fine when I'm still out on the street and pointing it from so far away?

A few years ago, we had intermittent times that our remotes did not work.

Might be the battery in your remote is weak.

Try hitting the close button when you're either in the garage or in...
