Your garage door opener is equipped with an integrated receiver logic board that "talks" to your keyless entry wirelessly, whereas your wall-mounted door control panel is hard-wired.
The wireless keyless entry and wired door control operate independently, so it is not uncommon for one device to work while the other does not. The most common cause of failure in a keyless entry is a depleted battery. If the battery has already been replaced, the problem may be a failure with the keyless entry or the receiver logic board. The most common cause of failure in a keyless entry is a depleted battery. If the battery has already been replaced, the problem may be a failure with the keyless entry or the receiver logic board. Battery depleted, replace the battery. Most of the keyless entries use a 9-volt battery. Some of the older models use a 12-volt. Needs to be reprogrammed after replacing the battery, you may need to reprogram your keyless entry.

The surface the keyless entry is mounted on is causing interference The surface the keyless entry is mounted to may be interfering with the signal. Remove the keyless entry from the mounting surface and test the keyless entry. If the keyless entry works, add rubber grommets between the keyless entry and the mounting surface. You can also mount the keyless entry on a small piece of wood.
