HomeLink Garage Opener Button - nothing works.

GSMetal · Jan 6, 2019

Howdy All

Just picked up a 2010 King Ranch and I'm trying to program the Homelink Garage door buttons with a Chamerlin Whisper Quiet Drive.

Nothing seems to work: I've tried programming it to a remote (doesn't work) as well as trying to hit the LEARN button on the opener itself (also no luck.)

The LEDs by the buttons inside the truck do light up so there's power there.

I have cleared out all the old codes on the HomeLink buttons and still nothing.

Any suggestions?

I can offer no help as we've never used the home link. For the fear of in the case the vehicle is stolen the thief's would have access to your home.

i had some issues with my 13 f150, but the 16 expy seemed to work.
I did have to go the homelink website and download the detailed instructions to get to play nice with my chamberlain product.

IIRC it involved one leg in the air, tongue out pointing west, spinning a quarter on the fender and pressing the learn button all within 15 seconds, NOT really but felt like it

My opener has the IQ thingy so you dont have to climb on a ladder to press the learn on the opener.
but getting the homelink on the visor to do the flashy thing sometimes takes a longer time than they prescribe in the book. it takes patience

a few months back we kept loosing the load and it turned out to be the wall remote....

i understand some folks fear of a thief having access to your house, which is a possibility. I mitigate that by not carrying my registration in the car (texas its not required, for that very reason. car thieves would use it to umm pay you a visit) and my HOME address in the nav system is about 5 miles away form my actual home. so i have a few hours to delete remotes.

depending on how new your liftmaster is the homelink does not work and you will need an adapter. Ours did not work with the newer improved security features liftmaster has added. If you call the liftmaster people they can tell you quickly if they will work together.

Well I spent the last 1.5 hours trying to get this stupid button to work and...nothing. I've gone to the Chamberlain website, got the model number, went to the Homelink website, followed all the directions for that specific model and I got nothing.

Not sure where I'll go from here but I'll keep the group posted.

The '16 system is not the same as his '10 system. His '10 system is most likely obsolete.

Isn’t Homelink just the little garage door opener buttons on the visor or is that not homelink? It’s no different than just putting a garage door remote on your visor. If that’s the case it’s been the same for a decade now...

this is what i have...liftmaster and chamberlain are one in the same..

its a tank, compared to the overhead rail type.
but it uses the same IQ panel and learn buttons.
not sure why or if the visor system is not picking it up..
defer to the manual ??
