Can't help with a recommendation, but I had the exact same problem a while back. Even had to temporarily use an extension cord to plug in my garage door opener to another outlet on a different circuit. Turned out there was an outdoor outlet on the GFCI circuit that was tripping. Despite being on a covered patio and having a plastic protective box, the outlet was tripping the GFCI every time it got wet. And I couldn't reset the GFCI until it dried out, which sometimes took a few days. Some caulk on the plastic box solved the problem and it hasn't tripped since. Might want to check all of your exterior outlets, especially if this happened yesterday when it rained.
Great idea on both accounts. My wife will love then extension cord look
. I was thinking it was due to the humidity level in the garage & faulty wiring so I was bit baffled. Will check the outside outlet on the adjacent wall. There is an outdoor cover.
Sounds like the same situation as yours. I thought it was tied to possibe outages but only rain yesterday & it happened.
