Why a garage door remote repair starts with the receiver, not the clicker

Every handheld remote sends a short radio code to a receiver mounted inside the opener housing. If that receiver's antenna wire is knocked loose, corroded, or shorted, no remote in the house will work no matter how fresh the batteries are — which is why a garage door remote repair call that starts with "I already changed the battery" usually ends at the opener, not the clicker.

What Hurricane Ike left behind in some garage door remote repair calls
