How to program or reprogram a Chamberlain, Craftsman, or Liftmaster garage door opener transmitter or remote control to your garage door opener. All of these openers that have been manufactured within the last few years have a learn button on the receiver in place of the older code switches that were once used to program a remote control device to the garage door opener receiver. These include any of the Security+ 2.0, Security+ (rolling code), or Billion Code transmitters that were manufactured by Chamberlain regardless of the brand name on the unit. Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Yellow Smart Button Programming Steps: 1) Locate the smart button on the motor head which is directly under the screw terminals where the push button and photo-cell wires connect to the unit and above the antenna wire. You may have to remove a lens or light cover to gain access to the learn button.
2) Push the smart button momentarily (Holding the smart button until the LED light beside the button goes out will erase all transmitter and keyless entries that are programmed into the unit) and verify the LED light next to the button is lit solid. 3) Push the transmitter button that you want to use for that door within thirty seconds and before the LED goes out. The LED will flash once and the transmitter will operate the door the next time the button is pushed. 4) If you have more than one door and a multi-button transmitter repeat steps 2-3 above for each door by using a different transmitter button for each unit. (Using the same button for more then one door at the same location will cause all the doors using that button to open and close at the same time and is not recommended.) The openers normally come with a single or a 3-button transmitter but 2-button and 4-button transmitters are also available as an option. 5)Repeat steps 2-3 above if you have more than one transmitter to program into your garage door opener.
Not all of our remote controls will program using the steps in this article. Before using these basic programming steps, check out the article for programming steps that are more specific to certain models of remote controls.

You have a shiny new car and want to program your garage door opener to it. Sounds easy enough. 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. Once 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. (The learn button, located 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 yellow, red/orange, or purple.
If using a Genie, the button says 'learn button.' ) The single press of this button should be brief and firm. Do not hold this button down.
If you do, it erases all of the programming in the machine and you'll have to re-program all the remote controls that you have, and that's not a fun process. 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!
I don't know why the auto makers leave this step out, but that's really it. I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments below and I will try to walk you through it. Barbara I have a double door garage. When I moved into this house, 5 months ago, there was a Craftsman garage door opener on one door and the other was a manual open.
I programmed buttom 3 on my 2005 Lexus Homelink to work with the Craftsman opener. A couple of days ago I had a Chamberlain 1/2 HP Chain Drive installed on the other garage door and have tried numerous times, unsuccessfully, to program button 1 on the Homelink in my car to the Chamberlain remote.
The Homelink light blinks slowly and after some time just goes out. Do I have to clear both Homelink codes and then program button 1 and re-program button 3? I have a several year old Genie accelerator opener - model ISD 1000. My original wireless keypad system stopped functioning.
So purchased a new Genie wireless keypad. Programming went fine and it works as expected. Then I discovered the homelink remote control built in to my 2009 Camry Toyota quit working. So I reprogrammed it and it worked fine. But now - yep, you guessed it - the new wireless keypad no longer functions. Looks like an endless cycle. Not sure how I get them both functional.
Not sure if this really fits here, since it's not a car I'm trying to program, it's a remote. But here's what I want to do. I have a Genie Excellerator opener, purchased about 10 years ago, with Intellicode II, and the three-button Genie remote that came with it. My current lady-friend has a year old home that had a new Sears opener installed. So what we're wondering is.can we program her Sears opener to one of my Genie remote buttons, and my Genie opener to one of her Sears remote buttons? Or is this sort of cross-brand issue only resolved by buying new 'universal' remotes?
I did try programming one of the buttons on my Genie to her Sears, just by using her keypad, which didn't work. I'm not sure if getting up on the ladder to open up her receiver and use the actual Learn button would be any different, so thought I'd ask here first if this is even worth trying, or if it's just not possible to use Genie remotes with Sears openers and vice-versa. I have a 2011 Tahoe, and 2 liftmaster garage door openers. I can program the openers with no problem EXCEPT that I can not get one button in Tahoe to operate just one garage door. When I program one button, it operates both doors. I have cleared out the memory in the tahoe, started all over, same thing.
I even disconnected one garage door opener from power,programmed the other opener to the button (after clearing memory again) in the Tahoe. When I plugged it back in, it still operated by the button. The liftmasters are the same model, green learn button. They have been programmed to my Tahoe in the past, but we wanted to switch the buttons (parking Tahoe in different side of garage.) So what is different now??
Hey Sweeps, thanks again for your help. I tried your instructions, in fact it had been unplugged all night.
I pushed and held donwn learn button (yellow and round) for 2o seconds(little red light) and nothing seems to happen. The red light stays on until I hit a remote button. I tried holding it less, more, rapidily.
And even unhooked hard wired button and tried procedure again. Remove batteries from remote. Don't know anymorel.lol. Maybe I am not clearing machine correctly? Thanks inadvance for your help. We are having the strangest thing happen at our home - hopefully you can help - 1. We accidently cleared all remotes 2.
Reprogrammed them quickly to main garage 3. Went to add 2nd garage and it somehow piggybacked onto main garage (press one button and 2 doors go up/down or one of each.- note: we pressed the middle button for the 2nd garage and it didn't appear to program) 4. Cleared all and started over - Couldn't get main door programmed but could get keypad.
Tried programming the second door - held the garage door opener button and pressed the second button and it didn't program the car - instead it programmed the remote to open both the main door and 2nd door now from the same button on the same remote (external) - (We weren't trying to mess with the main door at this point.) Do you have any advice? Jeff, you may be holding the learn button in to long and causing the machine to drop the others already programmed. Just poke the learn button to program. If you want to erase the board of all programming.push the learn button in and hold it for about 20 seconds. If you clear the programming and try to program one or two and it still drops the ones previously entered.it mean you have a bad logic board, and it will need to be replaced.
Remember the machine will only hold a total of five remotes/keypads.Let me know if i can help.Joe. Older Liftmaster/Chamberlin - I understand how to program remotes (although reading your post, in frustration I may have held the learn button in to long - but it still seems to work). My problem is programming more than one remote at a time. Some are not always here - or here together. Even then, trying to program 2 or 3 - plus the keypad.inevitably some don't take and I have to start over. Obviously it is a run to the keypad - and this all happens any time I may want to change Pins - even for the temporary feature. What can I do?
How To Program A Garage Door Opener
Excellent instructions, but I have some updates that were missed that will help those having problems. When training the homelink in my 2011 Camry, I found that I had to do both sets of training. Also, be sure and clear the homelink buttons of any previous training before you start.
Follow the manufacturers instructions. In my Camry I have 3 buttons, to clear the memory, I had to press the two outer buttons and hold until the light went out. I programmed the remote to the homelink button and to the machine. When training the button with the remote, hold the homelink button down until after the rapid flashing and the light goes off. When training the homelink to the machine, hesitate after pressing the homelink button 3 times, then press it a 4th time.
