Question garage door opener

I finally fixed the garage door opener and now I'm trying to program the buttons in the car.
I can get the red light to flash, but it doesn't seem to get programmed - I'm following the owners manual but no luck so far.
Anybody else have problems with this?
Any clues where I'm going wrong?

TIA

Re: garage door opener

what year do you have. The early models don't have the ability to learn code hopping remotes.

The car is a 98 - I don't know how old the door opener is - probably 6 or 7 years older than that. How do I find out if the opener is a "code hopper"?

Re: garage door opener

In that case I doubt that there is a compatability problem. Are you following the instructions in the owners manual?
Sorry I can't help you more.

Re: garage door opener

I don't know how that could work unless the RS is a very low quality unit or something's wrong with it. Some of the cheaper RS units have a very sloppy processor and will accept just about anything to get it to start.

Also, with my remote starters, I CAN shut off the code hopping feature. In addition, there are some garage door openers that ARE code hoppers.

Re: garage door opener

I finally figured it out - the procedures in Canada are different to how you do it in the US - FCC rules I guess. Canadians have a separate paragraph in the manual for the extra instructions and I missed it first time round. Works great now.
