Universal Remote not working

[DaveLg]

When trying to re-program the universal remote in my 2014 GMC truck, when holding down the two outside buttons I get NO flashing indicator lights, is there something else I should be looking for that keeping me from re-programming my remote?? Dave

I am deducting you have the homelink programmable garage door opener,(factory) if it's in the rear view mirror, then there will be a drawing of a home on the light that shows it's operating.

 

To erase you push the outer buttons together for 30 seconds.

 

Next step... 

do  you have a roving signal garage door opener. you know you have a basic door opener you'll know because the garage door opener will have just one button. On the others there will be more than one button, you can use it for more than one door.

 

I it's a one button, then press the button you want to program and hold it, point the garage opener to the bottom of where the buttons are and press the button on it. keep pressing both till the opener on the car will start flashing, keep holding it till the light flashes fast then release both buttons. Try the homelink on the car and see if works.

 

I you have a roaming garage door opener in the house, more than likely if it's a house built after around 91 and on. unless the builder cheapen out... I suggest change it because it's harder to open it by crooks.

Now, push the programming button on the opener in the garage, go to the car and press the button on the Homelink, if the light on the car/truck blinks then wait till you get the fast blink again and that's it.

 

Do what is needed if you have a basic opener (normally) to open up a gate or whatever, except push the homelink button that you want to program.

 

If you fail on either step then you have to reset the homelink and start all over again.

 

If you want to follow directions from Homelink the add the COM to the address on your browser and it will take you to the manufacturer page. And follow their directions there.

Homelink is used on most cars manufactured in the world, they hold patents all over the world.
 

I had some leftovers that I bought from a company that was going out of business, one I used on my 2002 Corvette Z06 And one in my 2017 Silverado dual cab LT. I installed it on the top console in the middle where the back window switch would  be,  I had to make a hole to install it. To connect it all it needs is a hot and a ground, you will  find those when you remove the plate where you will mount it, probe around the wires till you find one hot all the time. The homelink uses very little current to operate and none when not in use.

 

they come with three escutcheons, different colors, the scutcheon has latches that hook up to the the computer board. you can pull them apart if you have to but there should be no reason. the package comes with a template, I use to use a dremel with a fluted drill. at low speed if it's a one speed work fast so yu you don't melt it.

One last thing, they are not cheap, you can get them on Amazon, search for Homelink 60-HMLKV5ALL. don't buy anything else they will not last forever like the real ones.... You can also buy used take off mirrors that have them from eBay. I bought one a while back for $45.

 

Please pardon the grammatical errors or spelling errors. I have a condition that make my hands shake and I end up typing what i don't want... from 60 wpm Code writer to something like 10.  And have to read and reread to catch grammatical errors.
