Steve (400E),

It's good to know Peter D'Bugaha has friends such as you. He needs them ;-)
I think "The Black Hole" simply has a logic problem. If he cycles through the open/close function a few times, it'll fix itself. Sort of like the door locks getting out of sync once in a while.

Either that or, as Dakota mentioned, his wiring might be frayed/fried and he's sending mixed signals to the relay. Relay bad? Could be a contact has welded itself shut, I guess.

Any new developements since the original posting?
