How to Program Liftmaster to Car Without Remote
Programming a Liftmaster garage door opener to work with your car without a remote can be a convenient solution for those who have lost their remote or want to add an additional method of access. This guide will walk you through the steps to program your Liftmaster garage door opener to your car, ensuring that you can easily open and close your garage door without the need for a remote control.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items ready:
– Your Liftmaster garage door opener
– A compatible car with a remote start system
– A flat-head screwdriver
– A wire stripper or a knife
Step 1: Locate the Learn Button on Your Liftmaster Opener
First, locate the learn button on your Liftmaster garage door opener. This button is typically located on the back of the opener unit and is marked with a “Learn” or “L” symbol. If you cannot find the learn button, consult your owner’s manual for the exact location.
Step 2: Access the Car’s Remote Start System
Next, access the remote start system in your car. This may involve finding the remote start control module, which is usually located under the dashboard or in the trunk. Refer to your car’s owner’s manual for specific instructions on how to access the remote start system.
Step 3: Connect the Wire from the Opener to the Car
Using the flat-head screwdriver, gently remove the insulation from the wire that connects to the learn button on your Liftmaster opener. Then, strip the insulation from the corresponding wire in your car’s remote start system. Connect the two wires together by twisting them together and securing them with a wire nut or a similar connector.
Step 4: Program the Opener to the Car
With the wires connected, press and hold the learn button on your Liftmaster opener for about 10 seconds. This will put the opener into programming mode. While still holding the learn button, press the remote start button in your car. The opener’s indicator lights should flash, indicating that the programming is successful.
Step 5: Test the Garage Door Operation
Release the learn button on your Liftmaster opener and the remote start button in your car. Try pressing the remote start button in your car to open the garage door. If the door opens and closes as expected, you have successfully programmed the Liftmaster opener to work with your car without a remote.
By following these steps, you can easily program your Liftmaster garage door opener to work with your car without a remote. This can provide added convenience and peace of mind, especially if you have lost your remote or want an alternative method of access.
