| I have been trying for several days now to program my vehicle Universal Transmitter (1998 Olds Bravada) to my Craftsman 1/2 HP garage door opener (model # 139.53985)
I have followed the instructions from both manuals and have gotten both to erase previous codes (due to the rolling feature) but now I can only reprogram the Handheld remote and not the vehicle remote. Any information would be of help. |

| Sorry I guess I should have investigated this a little more. I finally found the answer at Geniedoor.com Hopefully this info will help someone with the same problem. And it worked the first time! To program a built-in-car transmitter to a rolling code garage door opener (Genie rolling code is called Intellicode, Liftmaster/Sears is called Security plus), you should take the following steps. Clear out anything previously programmed into the in-car system from the factory by holding down on the 2-outside buttons simultaneously, until the in-car red light starts flashing rapidly. This may take up to a minute. (In a few cases, some make cars require the keys to be in the ignition, or the car motor must be running, or the car door must be shut) |

| Did you ever fix the problem with your Craftsman remote? I have the same issue and noticed that, after erasing all codes, I can program either my remote or keyless entry, but not both. (The one I program first works, the other does not). |
