2004 FORD THUNDERBIRD buttons

Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelink buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to
Programming in this section.
Programming
Do not program HomeLink with the vehicle parked in the garage.
Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or “ACC ”) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLink . It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the
amber light begins to flash after 20
seconds. Do notrepeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLink buttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink .
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 2 –8cm(1 –3 inches)
away from the HomeLink button you wish to program (located on the
header trim) while keeping the amber light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter button. Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
“ Gate Operator and Canadian Programming ”section for Canadian
residents.
4. The amber light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both
buttons when the amber light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light
indicates acceptance of the hand-held transmitters ’radio frequency
signals.)

5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the
amber light. If the light is a constant amber, programming is complete
and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed
and released. Note:To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons,
begin with step 2 in the “Programming ”section —do not repeat step 1.
Note: If the amber light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to
a continuous amber, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn ”or “smart ”button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
7. Press and release the “learn ”or “smart ”button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence
again, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other
rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to
complete the programming.
HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device. To
program additional HomeLink buttons begin with step 2 in the
“ Programming ”section. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or1–800 –355 –3515.
Gate Operator & Canadian Programming
During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting —
not allowing enough time for
HomeLink to accept the signal
from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2
outlined in the “Programming”
section, replace step 3 with the following:
Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “cycling ”process to prevent
overheating.

“ Programming ”section) while you press and release —every two
seconds (“cycle ”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency

will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink accepts the radio
frequency signal.
• Proceed with step 4 in the “Programming ”section.
Operating the HomeLink Wireless Control System
