i read the FAQ and the homelink manual, and when i try to program it, it never flashes fast, only slow. i cleared the codes and then pressed my opener and the HL button which immediately started flashing slow, but it never advanced. i also tried the rolling code thing, but it did the same thing after i pressed the program button on my opener. Any help guys?
thanks in advance,
matt

 

Umm do you have a rolling code garage door opener or is it the older ones with switches? Which one do you have?

 

well its a newer one, and i guess that means its a rolling code. but ive tried hitting the program swith on my control panel and then running to my car and trying it again but it never blinked fast.
argh, frustrating.

You can't program the rolling code with the remote. When I programmed my HL, it has my old garage door opener code in it and I couldn't program the new rolling code over it. So I had to reset the codes (makes sure you do reset it properly) and after I tried it again I almost had the garage door come down on the back of my car. Also have some patients and don't let go too soon.

 

Also if you're having more trouble....my local Acura in West Palm had classes to teach you personally about HL.....maybe ask your local dealer?

 

oh, you cant use the remote. how do you do it then? i really am anxious to get this working. again, all i get is a slow blink.

My genie with rolling code has a program button on the opening unit itself (so get a ladder and open the light fixure part and you should see the button(depends on brand)). You press the button and the led on the unit starts flashing and you run like hell to your car and press the button you want to program.....after about 30-60 sec......the light should become in sync with the led on the garage door opener and finally the led on the garage door opener should turn off. (mind you I haven't had to program my HL for about 1.5 yrs so its not really fresh in my mind). Thats what I remember from doing it. I also had to program my HL to my gate opener which operates on the old switches. That is what you use the remote to program HL with. The reason you can't program HL with the rolling code remote is because thats the point of rolling code (so some1 can't steal your garage code). Umm do I make sense.....I seem to be rambling.

 

ok just tried that and i never got a fast blink the the light on the opener jsut quit blinking after about 30 sec. what in the world..i dont get it.

 

ummm.....I don't know what else to tell you. Wish I can come personally and help. I guess you should keep playing around with it.

 

TL-IGHTS,


I had a lot of trouble getting the HL to work in my S4. I got the trusty laptop on wireless out, sat in the car in the garage and went here:

Snoop around and it should help you figure it out. It helped me and my homelink worked beautifully , until I sold the car . Good luck.
