    Overhead garage door won't open with remote
    I have 2 Overhead garage door openers. One stopped working a couple weeks ago and the other today. It appeared that the batteries were dead. I replaced the appropriate batteris but door won't open. The red light on remote indicates that the remote is working

    My first thought is that maybe you need to "re-train" the opener to your remotes. In the old days, remotes would just send one code, but now they "roll" to a new code every button press. The remotes and the opener have to remain in sync in order to work.

    Take a look at this for more detail.

    Hope this helps,
