The remote works only intermittently. Sometimes it will work for a day or two then quits. The keypad just quit working and seems as if it isn't even connecting although it was working fine until a couple of weeks ago

Some electronic components become sensitive to temperature changes and will quit working. If you have more than one remote unit and the problem exists with them all then your logic board is bad.
Reinstall your own code,if the preset works and you still have the little instruction card. If not let me know,I'll look at mine and go over the service manuals
If the main light flashes 10 times when the door reverses it is a sensor problem. Check them very closely. If they are just a little off one of them will be flickering but it is difficult to see. This can also cause the problem to be intermittent. Tweak them just a little.
Either your keypad has reverted to an earlier technology and will no longer work properly with your opener or you have the wrong keypad. Either way take the model number off the main unit and get the correct keypad.
A few questions... Does the remote work very close to the garage, but not farther away - If so, then likely IS a battery problem....
Is the weather very cold where you live? - battery strength diminished quite a bit in the cold (try keeping the remote indoors for awhile & see what the results are). Also could be moisture in your unit - keep it inside & on a warm ( but NOT HOT ) surface for a day or 2
Did you get a good battery with an indicated shelf-life that is a couple of years into the future? (some 'dollar store' batteries are not very good). Also Alkaline batteries (if permitted by the user manual) are quite a bit more powerful than even the 'heavy duty' batteries of the same brand.
Finally, Is your unit at the garage powered electrically, or is it a battery also? If the garage portion is battery operated, try replacing that battery (in your receiving unit).
