SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE MAY HAVE PRESSED THE LOCK / VACATIONS SWITCH ON YOUR WALL CONTROL. IF STILL NOT WORKING AND THE LED IN THE WALL SWITCH IS NOT FLASHING TRY AGAIN TO PROGRAM YOUR REMOTES.

take the battery out of the old one and discard
with the new one
press the program button in the board then press a button on the new remote and allow the door to cycle up and down
the new remote is then programmed
one press to open and when finished , one press to close
It could be that your door is binding on the way up and so it stops automatically. Try releasing the emergency pull cord and move the door up and down by hand to see if it is binding, probably near the bottom. The track may be misaligned or there could be something rubbing against the door.
I'm assuming you mean that it won't close, only open? If that's the case then your eye beams may need to be adjusted. The wall button can override the sensors whereas the remotes can not.
are the batteries in the hand held new. Are you stand within 20ft of door opener. You may have to re-sycn the codes with the handheld.
refer to owners manual.
If this is the 3 button HomeLink Transmitter usually centered overhead above the rear-view mirror, this should work:
While the engine is turned off follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Decide which one of the 3 channels (one of the 3 HomeLink buttons) you want to program. 2. Press & hold the desired button through step 3. 3. When the HomeLink indicator light begins to blink slowly(this may take up to 30 seconds), hold your hand-held garage door remote about 1 to 3 inches away from the buttons & then press and hold the button on your garage door remote. Continue to hold both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLink begins to flash rapidly(this may take up to 90 seconds).
If it still doesn't work, make sure the batteries in your garage remote are not weak, and try again moving the remote back & forth and left & right or turning it upside down while programming.
Also note HomeLink will not work with older garage door openers, especially not with ones manufactured before April 1st 1982.
it is possible that when you programmed the car remotes you erased the pairing between your hand held remotes and the unit. Follow the instructions to pair the remotes again and you should be good to go.
NOTE: Some vehicles may
require the ignition to be turned on or to the second (or"accessory")
position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand held transmitter
of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio frequency. Please use a ladder and
do not stand on your vehicle during the programming steps for a rolling
code opener.
Rolling Code Programming:
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons until the indicator
light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold for longer than
30 seconds. Do not repeat this step to program additional HomeLink
buttons.
2. Place the hand-held remote 1-3 inches from the HomeLink button you want to program.
3. Simultaneously, press and hold both the HomeLink and hand-held
remote buttons. Do not release either button until step 4 has been
completed. (If you reside in Canada, refer to the "NOTE" below.)
4. When the indicator light changes from a slow blink to a rapid flash, release both buttons.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage,
locate the"learn" or "smart" button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached).
6. Press and release this "learn" or "smart" button. (The name of these
buttons vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds in which to
initiate step 7.
7. Firmly press, hold for two seconds, and release the programmed
HomeLink button. Do this procedure again and, depending on the make of
your garage door opener, do this procedure a third time to complete the
procedure.
The garage should now activate when the programmed HomeLink button is
firmly pressed and released. If not, give us a call or refer to the
"Troubleshooting Tips" noted below. NOTE: If you reside in
Canada, replace step three with the following: Press and hold the
desired HomeLink button and "cycle" the hand-held remote. To cycle:
Press and release the hand-held remote button every two seconds until
the indicator light changes from a slow blink to a rapid flash(step
four).
Troubleshooting Tips:
** Check the frequency of the garage door opener's hand-held remote
(usually found on the back). HomeLink is compatible with
radio-frequency devices operating between 288-399 Mhz.
** Put a brand new, store bought battery in the hand held remote.
During the programming process (step three above) the battery's energy
tends to drain (more so with an older battery). A new battery will
increase the speed and accuracy in which the hand-held remote sends its
signal to HomeLink.
** Retrain HomeLink holding the hand-held remote at different lengths
and angles from the HomeLink button you are trying to program (during
programming step three). Try 4-6 inches away at a different angle.
** Confirm that the HomeLink button you are trying to program is in the
"programming mode". Press and hold the desired button. The indicator
light will be a slow blink when HomeLink is in the "programming" mode
and can be programmed at any time.
Verifying HomeLink has picked up a rolling code signal:
** Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button. If the indicator
light blinks rapidly for two seconds and turns solid, HomeLink has
successfully picked up the rolling code signal. If necessary, proceed
with steps 5-7 noted above to complete the rolling code programming.
