I came home lest night and the opener that I keep in the golf cart didn't work. It worked fine this morning however. Later on, I took the car out and the door would close using the HomeLink in the car.

Later when I took the cart out again it worked but the last time I took it out it didn't. I check out the opener in the wife's car and that one didn't work either.

So not, none of the three work. The door still function with the wall control.

Because all three remotes are not working I have to assume that it's something in the receiver.

Any suggestions before I spend money on a house call?
I had a garage door opener that worked fine for many years, but then started to get flakey when using the remote to open/close the door. It turned out to be the power supply for my deck lights which was mounted under the deck at the rear of the house. It was starting to make a buzzing noise and was apparently giving off RF (Radio Frequency) noise that was interfering with the remote control signal. I replaced the power supply with a new one and the problem disappeared! Good luck with your quest and be sure to let us know the final solution!
