    Weird Garage Door Opener problem - need help

    Have you tried to relearn all of the garage door remotes? You might have a problem with interference of the rolling code (Genie). I had a problem with two garage door openers working simultaneously because of this. I was cured after relearning:) Good luck and welcome to the forum.
