It is a common problem with many vehicles nowadays. Many garage doors don't respond to the opener built in to the 2017 Ram 1500. What could be causing the problem what have drivers found is the best solution?
Yes, I guess it is a 1st world problem, but it is really annoying to have a built-in convenience that doesn't work. Let us know if you find an answer to this frustrating problem, other than using the regular garage door remote.
I disagree with the generalized interference excuse. I lived in the same house 15 years and had several cars during that time. They all worked flawlessly, every time with the homelink system- up until my new 2015 F150. Suddenly, it would not open, even if nearly bumping the door with the bumper. Ford issued a recall so, it proved there was a widespread issue. I contacted the Homelink company which shared that they have been making the devices now with 10 feet broadcast- THERE is the problem. Weaker radios.
We had a problem that turned out to be due to new security cameras (wired,poe, no shield ethernet cables used) that were installed. -cameras off, 40ft range to open door, -security cameras on, range 2ft or even not working to open door. -4x8 shielding sheet on ceiling improved range to about 8 ft. plan to replace ethernet wiring with shielded ethernet and properly ground the camera housing.
