You have a shiny new car and want to program your garage door opener to it. So you get out your garage door remote control and your new car's owner's manual for the instructions from the manufacturer to be able to program the remote control to the car. Then, after following the instructions from the manual, you press the button for the garage door to go up . . . and nothing happens. Did you miss a step? Read on to learn about what most instruction manuals leave out: the step of programming the car/truck/van to the garage door machine itself. The Logic BoardOn the back side of your garage door opener is a panel called the logic board (see the photo above). The logic board is the computer or brain of the machine. Most new garage door openers are multi-code machines. That means that they use 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. Programming a Vehicle to the Garage Door OpenerOnce you have followed the instructions on programing your machine, you now have to "teach" the garage door opener to connect to the remote device in your car.

First, press the "learn" button on the back of your garage door opener mounted on the ceiling. andersen storm door 4000 series(The learn button, located on the back of your machine, will be square if using a Liftmaster machine. 4 door utes for sale perthCraftsman, Liftmaster, Chamberlain are all the same. garage doors spring grove paTheir learn buttons are square and usually yellow, red/orange, or purple.

Quickly press the button on the remote control and hold it down a moment.

If your car has a built-in button, then you'll need to have someone help you by pressing that button now. Programing the remote to the machine only takes a second. When the machine accepts the code, the light on the machine might flash for a brief moment, and you should hear an audible click. Yep, it's that easy!
