    Hey everyone! I have tried everything and looked up so many different techniques but I just can’t get anything to work. I’m referring to my Home Link system. I have tried every way possible to get my garage TK connect but it won’t. I’ve reset my home link as well and repeated all of the different options. I’ve done it inside the garage, outside facing, outside away, with the windows all open, ect.... nothing is working. Has anyone else ran into this problem? If so please help.
    And just as a heads up I’ve done the remote to the home link, it will go from the yellow slow flash to the rapid green, but won’t allow me to open/close my garage. I’ve used the learn button and home link alone, it will do the same, start from slow yellow to rapid green, indicating it’s connected but nothing.
    I’ve tried all thee home link buttons and I’ve followed both the actual door manual on connection and the manual from Toyota. Also tried about 5 different variations from different users.
    It’s beginning to get extremely frustrating as I’ve been trying to get it to connect for 3 days now.
    The garage door I have is a Raynor.
    Anything helps.... thanks.

    Welcome to the forum from Wisconsin! Now I set mine and couldn't believe it was so simple, sat in the Runner and went into the owners manual, followed a step or 2 and it worked right away. We have a Genie opener, don't know why it's giving you so much crap. Sorry about the no help.

    The printed directions for my Marantec garage door were hard to understand, I searched it on YouTube and had it programmed in 3 minutes. Hope this helps, good luck!

    I had the same issues with my small garage door. I couldn’t get it to work at all. I gave up for a week. Well I learned I have to press my learn button twice to get into programming mode, as soon as that happened I got the button programmed into the 4Runner. It’s a newer 2 way opener that shows in the truck with the arrows if it’s opening l, closing Etc. this was my issue maybe it helps.

    Mine wouldn't program the garage door either I've tried the manual, Google, you name it. I've programmed Honda's and it worked after 5 minutes and the first try. I've got to try it again one of these days!

    2022 4runner. Could not program the garage door opener until i found out the car needs to be in accessory mode. Not in the toyota manual nor the homelink instructions. Homelink’s telephone line went through a step by step. When they said accessory mode, i stopped, tried that and it all worked.
