The other one is the Bad One, get rid of it and buy a new one.Craftsman remains to be among the most trusted garage door opener brands for a very long time. The chances of a hand held remote and the digital keypad going bad at the same time are doubtfull.įind whichever hand held remote works with the keypad, and thats the one you keep. Thats why you can program one or the other, but not both.

So as you can see, the Logic board will accept either billion code or rolling code, but not both together. The first remote you try to program is the 'Bad One' It will program just fine! The Logic board is saying 'Were going to operate on billion code are we? OK, fine, everything from here on must be billion code.' So then you try to program your other remote, (which is rolling) and it won't program. You start with all the memory cleared from the motor unit. But you cant program the second hand held remote (the Bad One), because it's not transmitting in rolling code like the other two are, and the computer says, 'NOPE, not going to accept you cause your not rolling code.'

Now, program a hand held remote, and it works fine. Now, program the keypad, and it works fine. Start by wipeing out the memory of all transmitters from the motor unit. It's still transmitting, but its not transmitting like it should. But, for some strange reason, one of your remotes has lost the ability to roll it's code, and reverts back to the old billion code system. (because they are, you have the red button)They include the two remotes and the outside digital keypad. Lets assume that all your transmitters are the latest, rolling code. We may not explain things so that it's easy to understand, so let me take another stab at it. Sometimes Don and I talk in different terms because we deal with this stuff all day long, every day.

I'm quite sure that one of your remotes is a 'bad' remote. Here is a post that I did couple of years ago. I suspect that those on this thread who are having trouble getting the second remote to program are pressing the Red Button on the Garage door opener too long and, HARD RESETTING it EVERY TIME. I think the short press of the Red Button informs the garage door opener to 'sync' with the next wireless device that tries to talk with it. Net Net: I think the long hold on the Red Button kills all the wireless peripherals. Now the car is RE-TRAINED to work with the opener. go back to car, press newly programmed HomeLink button. so, step 3 is important.ģ) Go back up the ladder, press the red button AGAIN for a short period (1 second). This trains the HoneLink.but it DOESN'T MAKE THE HOMELINK WORK WITH THE GARAGE DOOR. This immediately programmed the remote.Ģ) Followed the directions from my car on re-programming the HomeLink in my car in my case, press/hold the two outer buttons on the dash until light comes on, then press center button while also pressing the remote button until the HomeLink light flashes. then immediately pressed the large button on my handheld remote.

To fix it, I read this thread and some manuals and did this:Īfter I had done what I believe to be a HARD RESET on the garage door opener (as instructed by the 30 seconds of holding the button by the keypad instructions), I needed to re-train all the rest of the equipment.ġ) I pressed the red button on the garage door opener for a SHORT period of time (1 second). (The important thing that happened in my case was that the Keypad directions say to press and hold the Red button on the garage opener for 30 seconds or longer. When I pressed the red button on the garage door opener, and subsequently followed directions on the keypad, my remote and my HomeLink in the car stopped working.

I replaced the keypad battery, and had to reprogram it. In my case the battery in the keypad was low, we had a power failure, and my keypad stopped working.
