Why a garage door remote repair often points to the receiver, not the remote

A remote that used to work fine and now does nothing, or only works up close, is usually losing its signal before it reaches the opener. The receiver sits inside the opener housing and has to hear that signal clearly enough to trip the motor. Weak batteries, a shifted antenna wire, or a receiver board that's degraded over time can all produce the same symptom from the driveway, which is why testing the remote against a wall control matters before anything gets swapped.
