Craftsman garage door opener extra remote does not work
Hi
I have installed a new Craftstman garage door opener, that comes with 2 car remotes in the box. I have bought separately a keyring remote for my bike, and this remote allegedly is compatible with my door opener. However, i have done the "learn" procedure using the extra remote, nothing happens : it is not recognized by the receiver. I have checked tha battery of the remote, and this one is ok. Does anyone know about matching remotes with Craftsman door openers? Is the manual wrong? I noticed while installing two mistakes I had to correct myself. Jean-Marc |

Is the keychain remote also a Craftsman or is it a "universal" brand?
What "learn" procedure are you using? It's takes different steps if it's a universal brand. Newer (less then 1 yr old) Craftsman openers are on a 315 freq (purple antenna wire) & not the old 390 freq (gray antenna wire). If the keychain remote is not Home Link (www.homelink.com) compatible & is on the 390 freq it will not work on your opener at all. The same in reverse, if the keychain remote is 315 & if the opener is 390 the keychain remote won't work either. Doordoc www.DoorsAndOpeners.com |

What color is the antenna wire on the motor head?
You are trying to program it correctly, so either they are on different frequencies or the keychain remote is defective. Doordoc |
