Garage door opener on sunvisor (02 Expedition)

Do not start or use Vehicle. If in Garage, do not use the garage door opener. Manually open the door to Garage. Call tow truck with a flatbed. Have vehicle towed to open location.

There were some vehicles with Recalled gas tank straps. But anything could be wrong. The fix may be reasonable.

Call a Dealer with your Vin# to see if yours is an affected Recall.

Below are the steps to program your garage door opener/Homelink on your vehicle. Try these steps first but if the vehicle has been programmed before there is another set of steps to use but this should work. If you need an owners manual for your vehicle feel free to email me [email protected] with your make, model and year. I will be happy to email you a copy and no there isn't a cost for it. If you have a size limits on downloads on your email program just to let you know this is a large file as far as owners manuals go (17MB). Just a heads up if you want the owners manual. I hope this helps.....

So, you get out your remote control to your garage door opener and, then get your owners manual to your new car. You need to follow the instructions from the manufacturer to be able to program the remote control to the car.

Ok, you have followed the instructions from the car manufacturer and you press the button for the garage door to go up.......and nothing happens. So, then you think you have missed a step on the programing. Well, what most instruction manuals leave out is the step from programing the car/truck/van to the garage door machine itself. On the back side of your garage door opener is a panel called the logic board. The logic board is the computer or brain of the machine. Most new garage door openers now are a mulit-code machine. By that, i mean it uses several signals each time you press the button on your remote control. This is for security, so your code can't be stolen by a code-grabber.

Now, comes the step of programing the vehicle to your garage door opener. Once you have followed the instructions of programing your vehicle, you now have to "teach" the car to the garage door opener. You will need some help doing this. You will have to get someone to press the button in your vehicle and hold it down, while someone else has to press the learn button on the back your your garage door opener mounted on the ceiling. The learn button on the back of your machine will be square if using a liftmaster machine. Craftsman, Liftmaster, Chamberlain are all the same. Their learn buttons are square, and usually are yellow, red/orange, or purple. If using a Genie, it has a button that says "learn button".

The person pushing the button on the machine will only have to push and release the learn button. DO NOT hold this button down. If you do, it erases all of the programing in the machine, and you have to re-program all the remote controls that you have. You will have to read my other hub to find out how to do that. You will probably say a few words you shouldn't either. :-) Programing the vehicle to the machine only takes a second, and when the machine accepts the code, the light bulb on the machine should flash for a brief moment, and you should hear audible click. Yep, it's that easy! I dont know why the auto makers leave that step out. Anyway, i hope this helps, and if you have any questions.. leave them in my comments and i will try to walk you through it. See the photo above and you will see the typical logic board...the square red/orange learn button is easy to see. Just remember to press and release

Hold the sync button on the garage door opener located on the roof on the garage. Hold it until the light bulb on the garage dor opener blinks. Hold the remote until the garage door opens or closes.

codes must be identical. Take the cover off the garage door opener and get the code then program it into the remote. If this is a vehicle option, The owners manual should sddress the procedure

Depending on the type of vehicle home remote system you have and the type of garage door opener installed will determine how you program the system in your vehicle.
