My husband suggests that perhaps (generally speaking) if you had the same code and you press the open or close, it sends out a signal probably for 500 feet or so. If someone's garage door opener has the same code, obviously it is going to open or close their door.....or your door.
Take a step ladder and go up to your garage door opener; remove the cover.
You will see a series of about ten dip switches. A dip switch is a rocker switch in on or off position........like in your fuse box.
Simply by moving any one of those, you change the code. You now have to reprogram your car to the new code to open and close your door. Either one of you can do it. It's a few seconds work. You'll find out if you are on someone elses code by pressing your button and watching if anyone elses door opens and closes in the neighborhood...................of course this could become a vicious cycle.
Before you do ANYTHING, write down the code before you change anything, in case you want to go back to it.
