Universal Garage Door Opener with Homelink | Ford How-To | Ford
/ ford
Sat in my Escape and watched this video and decided that I will just clip my garage door opener back on my visor. Done.
Yeah I figured the same. My stupid visor doesn't even light up green. It lights up red and I have to do all these extra steps
@@TOOMUCHSAUCE91 orange is on mine. You both were smart, I thought the manual instructions followed, along w/patience & persistence I'd have it accomplished in
Same. I have a fast blink immediately. It worked at my old house but not so easy at the new one.
Get a kid to do it for you
I have had some issues with Homelink over the years on certain vehicles but this took less than two minutes on a 2014 Mustang. Instructions are spot on.
1.) Cleared any previous codes holding the two outer buttons.
2.) Then held handheld transmitter next to the button i wanted and pressed both in about 30 seconds, it flashed and turned solid red.
3.) Then hit rolling code learn button on garage door base, came back to car and pressed the button i wanted for 2 seconds let go then pressed again and it learned rolling code and closed garage door. Easy.
Thanks!! This worked perfectly on my new Bronco Wildtrak with the visor homelink.
“Programming your HomeLink system is simple. Let me show you how.”
**2 minutes of chaos follows**
I literally watched 50 seconds of it and connected it to my garage. It’s really not that hard

Info 2010 Ford fusion garage opener
Got first try, you guys are just old boomers
@@basicknowledge7607right, old people
It took me 2 minutes. Turned on AC (it is hot in TX in July) and took a cold beer with me expecting to work on it for 30 minutes at least. Great video, thanks!
Was struggling for 30 minutes trying to read the owners manual in my 2020 ST! Watched this video and it worked the first try, thank you! Surprised to see comments calling it confusing 😂
Tried programming my 2018 Ford Edge SEL by using both the garage remote button and the Homelink center button several times to no avail. I even made sure all old codes were cleared. I went back to the owners manual (pg 148) and performed the alternative method by pressing the "Learn" button on the garage door opener motor housing, pressed and held the Homelink button for several seconds twice and on the third press it worked.
Different instructions than the owners manual… But worked like a charm! Thank you so much
The extra steps worked for me. Had to unclip my visor to make to the button within 30 seconds but I got it on the first try. Thanks
Second half, very helpful. Wasn’t working for any garage door finally 5 years later I try again and find this video- success
Huh, I never was with you. This is so confusing and hard to follow. It also seems ambiguous. Tried watching it several times and just got more confused.
I agree completely.
RIGHT! Are they ALL home link buttons to start with? Or is it the one in the middle? Because after the first step, it says pick any button 🤔
Yeah
Which one is the “function” button. There’s up to like 6 choices depending on fob
Dunce cap for you
@Sprier if he's a natural born pilot I will never fly again lol 🤡
There is 3 buttons on the car remote and 3 on my remote, it be useful if you could have pointed out which one to press
Doesn't matter
Worked like a charm with Genie garages. I did have to push the learn button on the actual garage door unit.
Can please you explain how?
@@rannadesai360 you have to push the button on the actual garage (by the light) after you do the initial part. Shown in this video. Once you do that, go back to your car and push the selected button once more and will flash rapidly and the garahe door will close or open
If you DO NOT NEED TO ROLLOVER (aka just need to reprogram 1 garage door) to completely reset your Homelink press and hold the left and right buttons at the same time until the light flashes rapidly. This will allow you to reprogram the easy way as shown in the first half of the video if you already have a transmitter.
This worked 100%
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES.. that did it! Thank you for this incredible tip!!!!
Here it is 2022, and on a 2019 Ford Edge this is what worked for me. I'm guessing I don't need to worry about that second step, and I don't need to worry about the fact that the homelink in my edge always blinks when you push the button to open the garage door it does not go solid. It's opening and closing the garage door just fine.
Still works! Thanks for the tip.
Worked great on my 2023 Ford edge. Thanks.
We love to hear that.
Don't waste your time using your regular opener and button on visor. Hold "Learn" button on door control box then press and hold a button on your visor for 2 seconds. Saves time and worked for us after 2 attempts!
Third for me.....I felt like I won the lottery after fooling with the hand transmitter for 10 minutes. LOL
First instructions worked great in 1 try!
I can’t believe I found myself _Jamming_ to a beat this simple.
I tried all the different methods for an 2017 Audi Q3, none of them worked. I tried your method and it worked in less than one minute.
thanks for the help, just programed my 2024 Ford Edge Titanium and it works like it should. !!!
@Ford Motor Company - Excellent idea to make this video, however, the directions are too vague. For example,
* "turn on your car." - Accessory mode or drive mode?
* 1st step indicates to press garage transmitter and the HomeLink button. You might want to warn user this will cause the garage door to open (or close if already open).
* "press the HomeLink button" - Which one, the middle one or anyone of the three? Arrows in the video would have also clarified this.
* After the getting the fast blink, does user release both buttons or continue holding one of them before proceeding to the next step which is to pick the HomeLink button that will control the garage door?
* "press and hold the button on your HomeLink that you want to control your garage door." - Again, any button or only the ones on the ends (because the HomeLink logo and light above middle button implies that is a special button, meaning it's only used for paring?).
* 1:23 "press and hold the function button" - which one is the "function button?"
There's more after this point but I (hope!) you get the point.
And why isn't this information in the vehicle's owner's manual? If it is, it certainly is not in an obvious place to find it. And based on the number and type of comments to this video, clearly I'm not the only one that could not find any instructions on how to do this. Come on Ford, you can do better!
Right …this is the most complicated way to make something simple ever lol
Industrial engineer ?
Also, not all garage door openers have a learn button on the motor. Mine sure doesn't.
Work second step of instructions are what everyone else has failed to mention. Yours worked! Ty!!
2018 ford fusion sport. Worked like a charm.
Thank you
"If your transmitter stops working while you're programming, you'll have to hold the function button while you press the transmitter every 2 seconds."
What does this even mean
For real. These instructions suck!
Sounds like an AI that reads text written by another AI.
Hahahahaha 🤣 technubes !
It worked - now I can open the door with the in car opener! Great!
So I have a 2015 Ford Escape and all my buttons started as a rapid flashing. So that means they are already programmed to another garage door. You will need to reset the homelink unit.
Press the outter 2 buttons for 8seconds or so. Then all your buttons should flash slow like the video. I had success only by having the garage door remote next to the unit. I have all Chamberlain Openers.
How did you do it? I have a 15 Fusion with a chamberlain garage door.
steve71 press and hold the first button, and the last button until the pattern of the light flashing changes. Take your remote, and press and hold the button that controls the door, and also hold the button that you want to control the door. When it starts to flash rapidly, release both the remote button and the homelink button. You do NOT need to press the learn button on Chamberlain garage door openers
Thank you Oliver! Once I cleared the old codes with far left and right 8 second hold - my programming worked as you described. Ford Flex 2013 - Chamberlain c253.
Thank you so much!! I was wondering why it wasn’t working for me but it worked after I cleared it!
That was a much better explanation than the owners manual. Thank you!
Did not work
Couldn’t figure this out but this video was a great help on our 2015 Edge
What if the light is red?
This second set of instructions was helpful. Thank you!
Well that was simple, thank you!!
“Press and hold the LEARN button on your garage door opener”… word to the wise, check the instructions on the garage door opener first. Holding the LEARN button might clear all your remotes… I learned the hard way I only had to press the LEARN button once and spent another 15 minutes relearning all the remotes. 😝
Very simple. Thank you.
When I press my home link button, the light is red, not green. What does that mean?
This didn't work with my garage. I decided to follow the directions on my garage door receiver vs what was in this video and in the vehicle manual and it worked.
For those who haven't had any luck, maybe try the steps I took to see if it works for you too. NOTE: you will need TWO people to do this!
1. Turn your car on (keeping it outside of the garage so the door doesn't shut on it accidentally)
2. Person 1 should press and hold the button inside of your vehicle that you want to program to your garage door.
3. While they are holding that button in, Person 2 should press and release (do not hold) the "learn button" on the receiver inside the garage.
4. Person 1 can release their button from within the car and it should work.
Hope this helps someone else!
Yes this is vague!
I like this universal remote because my Edge is now less cluttered.
Awesome, so simple my 4 year old grandson was able to understand the instructions...thanks

Extremely easy and simple!
I'm going to save everyone a ton of time. Get a ladder and press the learn button on your garage door opener. Then go to the Ford and press and hold the button for 2 seconds and then do it again. Done. Don't bother trying to program from the remote because most garage doors don't allow it.
The problem is the creator of the video knows how to program these in their sleep. The rest of us does this once every 2 - 4 years so it’s not straight forward. I held the remote button and homelink button simultaneously the homelink light flashed FAST then SLOW then FAST I released both buttons pressed the homelink button two or three times and it WORKED!
Thanks it was super easy
It works great on my 2017 f-150
The light is red instead of green
Mine too! Why? Did you ever figure this out?
To clear the old memory press and hold the 1st and 3rd button until the light flashes rapidly. then you'll know your memory is clear.
For anyone else having issues getting the door to work. Take out the led bulbs in the opener. It throws too much radio interference and it blocks the signal. Only took my wife and I 45 minutes messing with it to figure it out.
Well that was easy. Thx!
For the not so clear instructions that this video provided. Here are the instructions from my ford (2008) manual. I had to type some of it out. So please pardon any mistakes.
Somethings to note while doing this. Whatever button you use shouldn’t matter with linking it to your car visors home link buttons. However to be on the safe side I chose the middle one for the visor. And the only other button I used from my hand remote was the button that opened and closes the garage. Make sure to keep it very close to the visor homelink buttons for connecting purposes. I had to do all 6 steps.
Programming
Do not program HomeLink" with the vehicle parked in the garage.
Note: Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the ACC position for programming and or operation of the HomeLink®. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink® for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches (2-8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program (located on your visor) while keeping the indicator light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink® and hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink® indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink® and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Note: Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace Step 2 with procedures noted in the Gate Operator and Canadian Programming in this section for Canadian residents.
3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink® button up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on contatnly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HOmeLink button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with “Programming Step 4 through 6 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).
4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unite in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit) (I had to open the white plastic light box to get at mine - my button was black).
5. Firmly press and relaease the “learn” or “smart’ button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer).
Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate Step 6.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence again and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming.
HomeLink® should now activate your rolling code equipped device. To program additional HomeLink® buttons begin with Step 1 in this section.
Oh and to reset the programming you hold the middle visor button down for 20 seconds until you see it slowly blinking. Do not release the button. Keep holding it down and proceed to step 1. Hope this helps!
This was super easy to follow and worked the first time I tried it on my new truck for my gate. I don’t know why everyone else had trouble but worked great for me.
If there is any program in the car it's impossible to follow and indeed missing steps for some garages
Do you have to leave the opener in the car as well after programming
Worked like soft smooth butter. Thanks!
This worked for my 2016 Ford F-150. Thanks!

Wasnt working on '17 Explorer but figured it out by having (Linear brand) garage door Remote and cars Homelink Sun visor remote. First climb into car but do not start. Physically ouch garage remote to Homelink visor remote. Press and hold Homelink button until it starts to flash rapidly, press and hold garage door remote (Both are now being pressed simultaneously) until homelink times out and red light on car sun visor goes out. Then it worked for me.
Fords are great cars, Larry Dembrun
This is much more complicated than other brands
Just programmed my new truck in 10 seconds
Got it thanks boss
Worked perfect for my 03 Expedition.
It worked, thank you!
Honestly is super easy just go with second method you’ll be done in about 10 seconds
he doesnt mention anything about a homelink button that is red...
My garage door required pushing the "learn" button on back of opener AND doing it three times! About a 15 year old Lift Master
system. A little bit of a pain, but got it to work.

Fred Flintstone Same for me. 10-15 year old LiftMaster. Removed light cover on the LiftMaster, pressed the Learn button, run to my new Escape, and held the button I wanted for 5 seconds.
WOW nice video kabayan hello FROM Philippines Walker🏃🏃🚶📹🎥
On the second step, we had to cycle the home link button three times not two. Genie model 3550
2019 ford flex. I tried this method a couple of times it didn't work for me.
I ended up looking in the owners manual and stumbled across programming in the security section pg72.
Press the program button on the garage door opener then pressed and held the home button 3 times holding for 2 seconds each time. Worked on the first try. Also I have a genie garage door.
This worked for my 2022 Bronco Sport also, thank you.
Great directions, thank you!
very confusing but thanks it worked for a ford expedition
Super easy to follow, I got it done the first try, thanks! 😊
We love to hear that.
May need to up date this video? My 15 F150 and 2024 expedition don’t work this way
I just tried on my 2012 fusion, 2013 f-150, and 2015 flex. All have never been hooked up to another garage door and I can’t seem to get any of them work doing everything said in this video
There are no programming buttons in the Timberline Expedition 2022. can you help me
Super confusing and not clear, pointers, fingers arrows or anything on screen, it assumes you know what buttons are what
unsavorycharacter id does not matter which button in a car you choose. They all have same function. You can Programm each button for different doors, that’s why there are 3 of them
@@novotelecom9433 This is the best information I've seen. Thanks.
I've done the steps but there's no light on my 2019 Ford Explorer garage door opener, when I press the buttons. Is there a solution to this?
If you have problems getting homelink to learn you might need to make sure you step over the safety photo eye sensors. I found out on my Overhead Door Python that if you don’t step over the photo eye and just walk through it, that it turns off the learning process.
What ...
Worked perfectly! With the second step. Nice video!
OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE THE 2021!
I have the 2018 f150 lariat and i was wondering if i could program thes too work with my wireless controller for my light bar, since i have ditch lights, a bull bar with a light bar and reverse lights, as the lariat didn't come with the aux switches like the raptor or the super-duty, as i dint wanna drill holes on my dash
Very easy instructions
... made complicate by Ford. Btw.... it does not work on 2018 Mustang. But it work great with our Toyota Sienna minivan! Way to Go Ford!!!

thank you
Any idea what to do if the light is red and not green in the car?
Thank you. Got them connected!
Worked on my 2018 Explorer! 😁
It comes easier the second time. So easy a caveman can do it.
What if your button in the car has a red indicator light?
How do you do it if you don't have a transmitter? I have a button inside my garage to open it which I have to get out of my car, open the side garage door and press the button to open the main garage door. Would it work to use this button to program the car opener? 2013 Flex
Should work for the Lincoln vehicles too
What if the light is flashing red?
Did you ever figure out what to do if your light is red? Mine is red too, I haven’t figured it out yet
Tried these directions numerous times and it did not work!
Same
its ez now thx
So mine works but only to about 30’, so I have to hit the button when I pull into the drive way and it opens. When I’m on the street it won’t work, I have extended the antenna on my craftsman to the front of the house and the same thing does anyone have a solution other than getting a new craftsman remote.
I know Ford wont answer this, we just purchased a 2020XLT not knowing it didnt come with a garage door opener on the sun visor, I believe the door opener on the sun visor works directly with your garage door opener, is it possible just to swap out the sun visor with one that has a garage door opener ?? I am not clear on this, the dealer want to to slip us into a more expensive car
Thank you!!
Wondering what other people's experience is with a 2019 Ford Edge, my homelink transmitter always flashes as it is opening and closing the garage door, it does not go solid. The buttons that go solid when I press them are the buttons that are not programmed. Is this just a discrepancy in the instructions? Will the homelink that I have programmed that is working eventually stop working?
I would guess that it is programmed to do the flashing letting the user know that it is working properly. Being that the above video was made in 2017 there are 2 years worth of upgrades and changes affecting many functions on the vehicle. I have the 2018 Edge SEL. My comment above documents my experience programming my Homelink.

Can the visor be bought and installed in my 2020 ford explorer?
How do I remove the programs from my buttons so all of them arent taken up
To reset the programming you hold the middle visor button down for 20 seconds until you see it slowly blinking. Do not release the button. Keep holding it down and proceed to step 1 (I posted instructions in the comment section above). I was so frustrated that I decided to write it all out. Hope this helps!
Just got a new Fusion. Was surprised to see the garage door buttons. I left my Garage door opener In my other car. But will be programming it tomorrow. I love Fusions, this is my second one.
HomeLink in general is very hard and confusing to set up. Even if I watched instruction videos or follow the instructions. I don’t even know why it was invented in the first place. I will hate HomeLink until I can understand it.
Just ... don't use it ?
