Re: Garage door remote control constantly transmitting??

Stuck remotes are unpredictable and difficult to diagnose.   I lived
in a condo building with a common door that was permanently stuck.
The culprit turned out to be a stuck remote in a parked car.

Some remotes will transmit continuously when stuck and others will
send their salvo of coded pulses and then either shut off or send
continuous carrier which can sometimes jam the receiver.

We had a big issue of one crabby owner who refused to let us check the
inside of his car for a stuck remote, which contributed greatly to the
problem.
