Jul 11	comment	What might cause garage door opener sensors to work intermittently? This answer led me to the root cause. The receiver side wiring was apparently pinched causing a cross. When I disconnect both + and - from the opener (and from each other of course), I still get continuity. The opener puts out ~30V. When I add the transmitter, it drops to ~23.5V. Adding the receiver dropped the system to 0V. I'm still not sure why that is. I actually threaded the receiver onto the transmitted in the meantime. The wire runs under some plywood planks in the attic that are nailed down. I'm thinking I put something in the attic that accidentally pinched the wire.

Jul 7	comment	What might cause garage door opener sensors to work intermittently? Thanks. Every time I go try to test it, the darn thing is working. Whenever I'm leaving in a rush and can't test, it's broken. Probably a correlation somewhere.
Jul 6	comment	What might cause garage door opener sensors to work intermittently? How do I test the voltage put out by the opener? The voltage put out to the sensors? What two points do I test, wire out and ground?
Jun 21	comment	How can I fit a door in a frame that is too small? Implemented this plan this past weekend. Funny, the easiest part of the whole operation was sawing off the jack stud and replacing with a 1 X 4. The jack stud actually ran to the ceiling, so I didn't need to put the 3/4" block on top. For a DIY job, I'm pretty happy. It certainly isn't perfect looking, but functions well. I'll post some pics soon.
Jun 18	comment	What might cause garage door opener sensors to work intermittently? They are definitely aligned and there is quite a bit of leeway before they get out of alignment. It will literally not work at night and then be working in the morning, so I know it's not an alignment issue.
Jun 17	comment	What might cause garage door opener sensors to work intermittently? +1 on the daily wtf reference. LOL

Jun 12	comment	How can I fit a door in a frame that is too small? This wall isn't much bigger than the door, probably 6 feet. I would require a temp stud in this case? Would the temp stud just need to go in the opening?
Jun 12	comment	How can I fit a door in a frame that is too small? Shirlock, thanks for the plan, it actually sounds better than what I was thinking on my comment to Michael's post. With a second floor above and jack studs running floor to ceiling, does it change your answer. We were very close to removing the jack stud yesterday. Got about half way and then decided to try and shave the backside of the door frame. That's when we realized the doors still wouldn't clear the tile.
