Possible Causes
Stuck wall button, Shorted wall control wire, Neighbor’s remote on same code (older models), Faulty logic board interpreting noise as command
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Until resolved, disconnect power or pull the emergency release when away to prevent unauthorized entry.
- Inspect wall button: Ensure the button is not stuck or physically jammed. Replace if it feels spongy or constantly pressed.
- Check wiring: Look for crushed or shorted wall control wires touching each other or metal.
- Erase and reprogram remotes: Clear all remote codes from the Guardian opener (per manual), then reprogram only your remotes and keypad.
- Monitor behavior: If the door still opens by itself with wall control disconnected, the logic board may be faulty and should be replaced.
