My wife paired her Acura MDX to our garage door opener and now the garage opens when it wants to. It will open up during the day when nobody is home and it will open in the middle of the night. What can I do to stop this from happening. Now I'm unplugging it when she leaves the house.

If the remotes operate with no problem it's not the board. once you've paired the remote to your home link in the car, you have to go back and hit the learn button on the motor housing unit then go back and hit the home link button you just paired. Keep in mind when you hit the home link button, you should with a firm 3 second push. If that doesn't work it's one of two things. First is all three buttons may have been programmed on the visor not allowing you to reprogram. You would have to wipe out the programming by holding the first and last buttons simultaneously until the light flashes rapidly. Then start over. Secondly it could be the radio frequency. Depending upon the year of the vehicle you have and the opener you have there's a difference in the megahertz. I hope it's as easy as my first suggestion. GL!

2014 Acura MDX Homelink Button Programing your Garage Door Opener

Garage door openers can sometimes be triggered by (illegally) boosted CB or ham radios.
A passing vehicle pumping out high power might open the door (an acquaintance did this years ago annoying the neighborhood) and the 30 minute delay may serve to protect against unwanted opening of the door.

Remove the door panel and check the linkage and outer handle.

Sorry, the process is simple but too lengthy to post here.

Goto homelink.com

They make the system and have very complete instructions you can download.

PLEASE NOTE: MOST but not ALL Brands / models of opener will work with this system.

It might actually be the factory lock motor assembly on the door that's damage

THE DOOR CATCH HAS A DOUBLE "C" THAT HOLDS THE DOOR CLOSED. FIRST TAKE A SCREWDRIVER INSIDE THE "C". USING THE HANDLE ON THE INSIDE, PULL THE HANDLE AS IF YOU WERE OPENING THE DOOR AND AT THE SAME TIME, OPEN THE DOUBLE "C" WITH THE SCREWDRIVER. I HOPE THIS HELPS. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO KEEP ME POSTED. GOOD LUCK

Sounds like the Logig board is going bad in your unit.

1. Position vehicle within 10 feet of garage door- engine off and battery on.

2. Press/hold 2 outside buttons of Homelink transceiver until red indicator starts flashing rapidly, then release button. This should take about 20 seconds. This erases any previously learned codes.

3. Press/hold remote control and press/hold button of Homelink transceiver simultaneously. Slowly move remote control from 5" away to 1" away from Homelink transceiver. Release both buttons after red indicator starts blinking rapidly. This should take about 5 seconds. I discovered that the Homelink in my TL is a bit faulty because it took much longer to accomplish this than when programming the Homelink in my MDX. My TL's Homelink may "unlearn" it's code in the future and the needed proximity of the TL to the garage door may be much closer than desired until I get the Homelink fixed.

4. Press training button on garage door opener unit until the indicator lights illuminates- this should be immediate.

5. Within 30 seconds press/hold the Homelink button for 2-3 seconds until the red indicator starts flashing rapidly. Repeat a second time. It should now be programmed. Check it by pressing the programmed button on the Homelink receiver.

6. When programming more than 1 garage door opener unit, disconnect power from unit before programming more units. By not doing this the programmed unit could conflict with the unprogrammed units commands.

Problems:

1. The Battery in the garage door remote may be too weak to program Homelink. However, the battery may be strong enough to operate the garage door. One of my remote controls had a weak battery- my system was installed today, fresh out of the box. I had to use the second remote control for the programming of Homelink on my 2 vehicles.

2. Antenna on the garage door opener unit must be hanging down, fully extended.
