We have a job where we tied three garage doors into three relays for control. ...They are Genie garage door openers and we are tapped directly into the opener itself.

So back up here. Before you wired anything, exactly what was done to open and close the doors? Did each door have a NO switch which toggled between open and close, but which would stop the door with an extra push? Did each door have three sets of contacts: Open, Close, and Stop?

Without characterizing how the opener works to begin with, you can't figure out how you should connect how many relays for control.

Did this work for a while, then stop working?

The relays are normally open and they tested them for continuity and they were indeed open not sure what's going on I need some advice. We are using a savant 0025 the trigger them.
They work from the key fobs but not from the pushbutton on the wall while savant is tied in.

Sounds like you put your stuff in series with the pushbutton instead of in parallel... or worse, as there's one pushbutton and three relays. Need more info. Opener's model number could help.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
