There is a plethora of info regarding programming of Homelink on this forum but not quite the problem I'm having at the moment.

My Homelink was trained perfectly to the first channel of my remote and then synchronized with the rolling code in channel one of the receiver. So far, so good.

The Homelink then trained perfectly to the second channel of my remote using one of the unused Homelink buttons, producing the characteristic rapidly flashing light. However, it will not synchronize with the rolling code from the receiver, no matter what I try. I have the same problem if I completely delete the links in both Homelink and the receiver and then try using different Homelink buttons as the first and second channels.

From this, I deduce that all the Homelink buttons are active and programmable. Unfortunately, I cannot fathom why I should be having difficulty synchronizing a second button.

Does anybody have any clue please? Or is there an alternative method of synchronizing? I followed the instructions in the manual and the first channel worked perfectly. I've tried various combinations of the number and duration of Homelink button presses.

Please, can anybody assist?

Thank you

 

Ooops, another one which seems to have everybody stumped

 

Try a different button and program them again.
Might have a problem with the HomeLink module too.

Thank you.

I tried that and it didn't make any difference but thanks for the idea.

HomeLink

 

...SOLVED



I gave it some thought... always a good idea.



What had happened is that the Homelink system hadn't learned the remote properly although it appeared to at first glance. This I gleaned from the response of the Homelink LED to a button push.



Thinking about the location of the Homelink module within the overhead console, I tried re-programming all the buttons by running the remote horizontally along the head-lining by nearside edge of the overhead console. All of the buttons were recognized within a few seconds and synchronizing to the rolling code also worked perfectly each time for all of the buttons.



So now, Garage door opens and closes, garage lights switch on and off, and security lights switch on and off, individually, at the touch of a button from inside the car - and at a better range than the original garage remote

 

Just a bit more info for others fighting Homelink problems.

Homelink added new frequencies in 2011. These are outside the range of the Homelink in our S Types.

So no matter what you do you can program the Homelink button but the garage door will never respond.

If you have a garage door opener from about 2011 and newer you most likely have one with these new frequencies.

Now there is a solution that's not too expensive and that is a "Repeater Kit". About $30-$40. Need only one per garage/house.
