Homelink

[SitKneelBend]

Well @SitKneelBend - you are the winner - I took out the TCP LED bulb in the opener that I put in about 7 years ago and as soon as I did I barely had to press Homelink and the door was opening, from inside the truck

I did order the Genie bulbs on Amazon should be here tomorrow, as well as the Genie plug-in surge protector (for $13 can't hurt) for the ceiling plug in point

This will end nearly 6 years of frustrating Homelink on my Ram I hope!

Glad it was a simple fix! I just bought these LEDs to keep the bugs from swarming in towards the light and they work too for those interested in brands that may come across your problem...

Good to go people - get yourself the specific garage door opener bulbs!

Another update - had some spotty issues again, even with new bulbs - I reprogrammed Homelink again last night - do not go by the Homelink site instructions for Ram with the Genie intellicode 2 openers - use the PDF which is similar to the instructions, however, change the battery on the remote fob first to a fresh one, and be sure to place the opener into 'programming' mode for the button you are using to train your Homelink -

Leaving to drop my son off today at pre-K and coming home worked flawless once I reprogrammed according to the instructions - this is a step noted on the Homelink site but not in the main Ram training video
