    I'm trying to program a garage opener and the indicator light in the truck is not working. It's not lighting up at all! Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

    I gave up on programming that. Installed a HomeKit compatible garage door opener so I can open it from my phone or CarPlay

    It took me several tries to get mine programmed. Had zero luck using the garage door remote to transmit the code to the HomeLink receiver but found success by punching the button on the garage door opener motor itself. Park close to the ladder—that 30 second window closes faster than you think.

    The indicator light on the Homelink is not working. It does not light up of flash.

    Did you ever figure out why your garage opener inside of your car didn't light up. Mine was working, has always worked. Then when I came home and pushed the button, it wasn't working and the light was not coming on when pressing the button. I tried reprogramming it, but the indicator light does not come on at all.

    I had the same issue. Indicators would not light up on single button press on any of the 3 buttons.

    I was able to fix mine by pressing and releasing the two outside buttons 1 and 3. Important not to hold them down because this completely resets the programming. When I did this the indicator light showed up and my programming stayed intact. Hopefully this works for others.
