Default Help! Homelink programming doesn't work

I finally got around to programming the Homelink transmittor on my car. I followed the directions in the owner's manual verbatim and it appears to have worked but the button doesn't open the garage door. Is there a trick I should know about? I was trying to program button I. I didn't try the other ones yet.

Thanks in advance!

I did search the archives but didn't find anything.

Default Go to the homelink website and read about rolling codes...

then look for the "teach/learn" button on your garage door opener. That's the ticket.

Default Yup, I had the same problem with the Audi instructions...

I ended up calling Homelink. They walked we through the same instructions but with the addition of that one little but very important step.

Default I couldn't find the button on my opener for about a year. Then when the bulbs burned out and...

I had to take the cover off, there was the "teach/learn" button under the light cover. Yeeehaw.

Default Thank you all! I know where the Learn button is since I installed the Genie opener myself

I think I need to take the bulb cover off. I used the Learn button to program the hand held remote.

I'm actually having the same problem. I followed the Homelink directions, but after holding down buttons 1 and 3, then pressing the button I want to train and then using the key flop in front of the right headlight, it just refuses to work.

Oddly enough my hazards never light up during this process. ever! Any ideas?
