Your Ford F-150 may be equipped with a feature that allows you to remotely operate your garage door. This guide will show you to program it on your vehicle.
Programming your HomeLink system is simple, and can be done in a few steps.
- First, turn on your car, and hold your old transmitter a couple of inches away from the HomeLink button you want to control your garage door with.
- Now press and hold both the transmitter button and the home link button until the indicator light changes from a slow blink to a fast one.
- Now, press and hold the button on your HomeLink that you want to control your garage door for five seconds and release it.
- Your garage door should, move but if it doesn’t, repeat the five second hold.
If your indicator light is still on your programming is complete and you can just press and release your HomeLink button to activate your garage door.
If the light flashes rapidly
If your light flashes rapidly and then turns to a constant light, you’re not done yet and will have to take few extra steps.
You’ll need to complete the next few steps in 30 seconds, so you might want to have someone help you if you think it would be easier.
- First, press and hold the learn button on your garage door opener motor, here.
- Next, get back in your car and press and hold the selected function button on your HomeLink for two seconds then release it.
- Then press and hold it for two seconds again and release it.
Program additional buttons
To program additional buttons, repeat the steps we just walked through, but remember to choose a different button.
Keep in mind, if your transmitter stops working which you’re programming, you’ll have to hold the function button while you press and release the transmitter every two seconds. You’ll see the indicator light flash slowly at first then faster once the signal has been sent and accepted again.
Program a transmitter liked to another HomeLink system
To program a transmitter that was previously linked to another home link system, press and hold the HomeLink button you want to control your garage door until the indicator light starts to flash. Without letting go of the button, turn the ignition on in you car and your programming should be complete.
