Garage door wall unit appears to lock on its own
I have a Marantec 260 garage door opener with an associated Marantec wall control unit. We bought this new house in 2018 and about a month ago the garage door started vacation locking on its own. I think it began when early in the morning when I pressed the lock button by accident, and it appeared to happen from there. I thought it might be the wall control unit or a sticky button and I ordered a new wall unit, and replaced it. It seemed to work for about a day just great and then the same behavior.
You can open the door and the vacation lock turns off(the flashing light stops). Then you walk out to look at it later and the light is flashing on the open button again indicating it's locked. And sure enough, the remotes do not work on the door.
After changing the wall unit, I'm at a loss at this point. Any advice?

Sorry not familiar with Marantec's... maybe there is something in the manual. If I had to guess I would say circuit board is faulty.Marantec Comfort 260 Operating Instructions Manual

I'm having the exact same problem with a Marantec 4700 that is about 10 years old. Like you, I tried replacing the wall mount controls, but no luck. I also tried swapping out the remote control for the outside, and also the remote control receiver (the little thing with a wire antenna hanging off it), but neither helped.
The vacation lock button sometimes will turn off the vacation lock, but it often takes a few tries, or you have to run the door up or down first. But even then, after the lock is off, the next time you run the door, the vacation button starts flashing and the lock is back on. I've tried re-setting the operator, but that does not seem to help either.
The 7 button is also flashing, which I believe is the error for the "adjustments setup being interrupted before completion," but I've tried running through setup again, no change.
The other weird thing is that when the lock is on, you can still open the door by pressing the wall control door button 3-4 times.
For me, it started after we returned from a trip. There was a big electrical storm while we were gone, so I wonder if it damaged the operator. But it seems to work fine, other than this glitch with the vacation lock.
