garage door opener

[Skip1]

occassionally merely starting my EX in the garage will cause the garage door to operate.

I wrote to HomeLink: they think the problem is caused by a short in the EX wiring. Has anyone had a similar problem?

[EXceptional]

Mmmm... never heard of that one, on here.

I kinda have the opposite of your situation. I don't have homelink, instead I use the remote provided by my garage door. I usually put my remote in the door storage area by my foot since I don't like it blocking my view on the sun visor. With my other cars I can open the garage door from some distance away, with the EX I have to drive right up to the door. I'm guessing the car has thicker metal shielding on the doors that prevents RF waves from getting out.

I'm guessing you have a Metal Garage Door, too?

The garage door is wooden. I thought it was the remote at first, so I changed the battery, I even bought a new one because I thought the transmitter was getting weak. Didn't make a difference. The upside is the EX will probably withstand an EMP blast better than most cars!
