I purchased my house about 6 months ago (the house was 9 months old at the time). When I first moved in, I noticed that the lights didn't work when I opened and closed the garage door. They were burned out, but I didn't replace them right away because I never had any real need for them...

I started a project that requires me to work at night so, obviously, I changed the bulbs. As soon as I installed the new bulbs something peculiar began to happen. Without turning the lights on using the manual light switch on the wall unit, the lights would turn themselves on, stay on for anywhere between 10 seconds and a minute (yes, it would vary) and then turn themselves back off. Sometimes they seemed to turn on like they were wired to a motion sensor of some sort.

Additionaly, when I would manually turn them on, they would turn on, but, again, stay on for anywhere between 10 seconds and a minute and then turn themselves back off without me actually pressing the button again to turn them off.

I have checked the external wiring within the OverDrive installation guide and everything seems to be OK. None of the connections are loose. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be the problem?
