Programming this opener involves using the button on the opener itself and interacting with your garage door opener's receiver. The process is typically as follows, but *always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and your garage door opener's instructions for the precise steps, as they may vary slightly*:
1. Locate the garage door opener: Find the small, usually button-shaped device in your car.
2. Locate the "Learn" button on your garage door opener: This is usually located on the garage door opener motor unit itself.
3. Enter programming mode on the car's opener: This often involves pressing and holding the car's opener button for a few seconds until the light on the button flashes (consult your manual).
4. Press the "Learn" button on the garage door opener: Do this immediately after putting the car opener into programming mode.
5. Confirm programming: The light on either the car opener button or the garage door opener should change or stay lit (again, consult the instruction manuals to see what to expect). Try operating your garage door with the car opener button to confirm successful programming.
6. Repeat if necessary: If it doesn't work, repeat the process, ensuring to do it quickly. Sometimes there is a short time limit to complete the pairing.
If you are having trouble:
* Check your batteries: Make sure the battery in your car's remote is fresh.
* Check the garage door opener's receiver: Make sure it's properly wired and functioning correctly. Try opening the door with the standard handheld remote.
* Consult your owner's manuals: The manuals for both your Oldsmobile Aurora and your garage door opener will have the most accurate and detailed instructions.
If you've followed the instructions and still can't program the garage door opener, you might need to seek professional assistance from a mechanic or garage door repair technician.
