Remotes don't work (3)

One of my garage doors does not open with the remotes, three total. Just started over the past week. No problem with the mounted push button in the garage, except for the fact that the light is blinking continuously?

Did you inadvertantly hit the "vacation lock" button on the Mounted push button? This will cause the remotes not to work. Try hitting the button again, and then see if the blinking goes to solid green.

Good Luck

Here are instructions for vacation mode:
If you have a three buttom wall panel, one of the small buttons should be the lock button, push this button and hold it for a couple of seconds until the LED on the wall panel stops blinking.
