Are you trying to just program one remote or several? The answer to this question will help determine what's going on.

I have a Craftsman Garage door opener. Model # 30437 I have two of them set up in a two car garage. One works flawlessly. The second one has constant issues. The most significant is that the remote stops working randomly, but only for that door. All remotes continue to work fine for the other door. To clarify, each remote has three buttons (we only use the left and right ones, not the middle) and on both remotes, the one door (always the same one) will no longer be connected but the other one will work fine. For this reason, I do not believe it is a problem with the remotes. We even tried switching which buttons we use for which door and it's always the same door. It seems as though it is randomly resetting itself thus causing the remotes to require reprogramming. Also, on the same door, when the power goes out (even just for a minute or two) the light on the wall button turns off and to get it working again, you have to press it, wait a few seconds and then press it again. The other door opener never has this issue no matter how long the power is out. This is not a big deal but may be indicative of a larger problem.

I have a problem with both of my remotes. The new garage door motor was installed 3 years ago and we got two remotes. One worked for only a month and the other until recently, but with neither one working it is a problem. The ID numbers are: IC2666A TX2028 Date: 11/05 139.53753 FCC ID: HBW2028 Do you have any suggestions? I thought about trying to replace the battery, but rarely used and not that old, although I would do that, but truthfully I can't figure out how to open the unit. I need all the help you can give me!

To get out of vacation mode, press & hold that vacation button for about 3-5 seconds. When you release it, the light should not flash anymore. Your vacation mode disables everything. If you are mixing Genie w/ craftsman products, that wall button might not come out of vacation mode until proper button is installed. A plain doorbell button with no led light will work okay in a pinch. The key being, "No Light". That s when you'll have troubles with a non Genie brand. Overhead Door wants you to have to buy their products so this is done on purpose. (their garage door sections "mate" join together in a stair step design that is different from other Companies, forcing customers to either call OHD or buy an adapter rail to modify) Smart business but pain in the rear for the customer.
