How do you program the three LED light universal garage door opener on a 2007 GMC Yukon?

Question

The garage door opener with three LED lights is not made or supported by Homelink. The steps in the manual are not working. I have a Linear Moore O Matic GDO. I followed the steps in the manual at least 10 times with no luck. Please help.

Answer 1

Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions below.

This system provides a way to replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home automation devices.

Do not use this system with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in programming the transmitter.

Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. You only need the original remote control transmitter for Fixed Code programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed buttons should be erased for security purposes. See "Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons" later in this section.

When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or security device you are programming.

Programming Universal Home Remote -- Rolling Code
Most garage door openers sold after 1996 are Rolling Code units.

Programming a garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before you begin. If you do not follow these actions, the device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure.

To program up to three devices:





From inside the vehicle, press the two outside buttons at the same time for one to two seconds, and immediately release them.



Locate in the garage, the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the "Learn" or "Smart" button. It can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit and may be a colored button. Press this button. After you press this button, you will have 30 seconds to complete the following steps.
Immediately return to your vehicle. Press and hold the universal home remote button that you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light, above the selected button, should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from five to 20 seconds.
Immediately, within one second, release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete.
Press and release the same button again. The garage door should move, confirming that programming is successful and complete.
To program another Rolling Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1 through 5, choosing a different function button in Step 3 than what you used for the garage door opener.

If these instructions do not work, you probably have a Fixed Code garage door opener. Follow the Programming instructions that follow for a Fixed Code garage door opener.

Programming Universal Home Remote -- Fixed Code
Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are Fixed Code units.

Programming a garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before you begin. If you do not follow these actions, the device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure.

To program up to three devices:





To verify if you have a Fixed Code garage door opener, remove the battery cover on your hand held transmitter supplied by the manufacturer of your garage door opener motor. If you see a row of dip switches similar to the graphic above, you have a Fixed Code garage door opener. If you do not see a row of dip switches, return to the previous section for Programming Universal Home Remote - Rolling Code.
Example of Eight Dip Switches with Two Positions




Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three Positions




Your panel of switches may not appear exactly as they do in the examples above, but they should be similar.
The switch positions on your hand-held transmitter may be labeled, as follows:

• A switch in the up position may be labeled as "Up," "+," or "On."

• A switch in the down position may be labeled as "Down," "-," or "Off."

• A switch in the middle position may be labeled as "Middle," "0," or "Neutral."

Write down the eight to 12 switch settings from left to right as follows:
• When a switch is in the up position, write "Left."

• When a switch is in the down position, write "Right."

• If a switch is set between the up and down position, write "Middle."

• The switch settings that you wrote down in Step 2 will now become the button strokes you enter into the Universal Home Remote in Step 4. Be sure to enter the switch settings that you wrote down in Step 2, in order from left to right, into the Universal Home Remote, when completing Step 4.

From inside your vehicle, first firmly press all three buttons at the same time for about three seconds. Release the buttons to put the Universal Home Remote into programming mode.



The indicator lights will blink slowly. Enter each switch setting from Step 2 into your vehicle's Universal Home Remote. You will have two and one-half minutes to complete Step 4. Now press one button on the Universal Home Remote for each switch setting as follows:
• If you wrote "Left," press the left button in the vehicle.

• If you wrote "Right," press the right button in the vehicle.

• If you wrote "Middle," press the middle button in the vehicle.

After entering all of the switch positions, again, firmly press and release all three buttons at the same time. The indicator lights will turn on.
Press and hold the button you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light above the selected button should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from five to 55 seconds.
Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete.
Press and release the same button again. The garage door should move, confirming that programming is successful and complete.
To program another Fixed Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-8, choosing a different button in Step 6 than what you used for the garage door opener.

Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted.

Reprogramming Universal Home Remote Buttons
You can reprogram any of the three buttons by repeating the instructions.

Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons
You should erase the programmed buttons when you sell or terminate your lease.

To erase either Rolling Code or Fixed Code on the Universal Home Remote device:

Press and hold the two outside buttons at the same time for approximately 20 seconds, until the indicator lights, located directly above the buttons, begin to blink rapidly.
Once the indicator lights begin to blink, release both buttons. The codes from all buttons will be erased.

Answer 5

I've got a weird situation here. I moved across the street. Now the button I used to open the garage on the old house will not learn JUST the new code, it opens both! I pressed the outside buttonS for 20 seconds to erase all codes (twice), but it will not forget the old garage code. Any advice how to fix this?

Answer 6

If it s a Liftmaster model you can t...they re not compatible with the Lear Car2U crappy system that comes in the GMC s between 2007 and 2012. SO stupid. Nearly every garage door is compatible with Homelink. Doesn t make sense why they wouldn t use the standard.
