What are these buttons for on my visor?
I got a new Chevrolet convertible, ’96. I accidentally set the car alarm somehow and it went off for about 20 minutes, in annoyance, I started pressing all the buttons inside the car and found 3 little buttons on the visor of the drivers side. i pressed the middle one and it shut off. Then my mom, who isn’t the sharpest, tried to open the door again and it startted going off again only this time the middle button didn’t work? what are these buttons for? was it a fluke?
I ended up having to disconnect the battery from the car.
It was probably a coincidence that the alarm timed out right when you pressed the middle button. Those are for the “homelink” system.
They are used to program your garage door opener so that you don’t need to have the transmitter clipped to your visor all the time. The procedure is this:
1) put the key in ignition in postition 2 (car not running).
2) hold down both homelink buttons on the outsides of the homelink transmitter (to reset any existing codes) you might have to do it for 20-30 seconds. Red light on homelink will flash rapidly then let go.
3) Now, with the garage remote in one hand, hold the button on the homelink you want to program (keep holding homelink until it pulses, not a rapid flash, takes about 20 sec.) While it is pulsing, hold the garage opener as close to the homelink button as possible while depressing door opener button also. Shortly after doing this you will see the homelink start to flash rapidly (this means it is learning the code). Let go of both buttons once it is flashing rapidly.
4) Go to motor of door opener and press the learn button (a light should turn on).
5) Return to the car and press the homelink button you just programmed. Press the button once, twice, or maybe up to three times until you see garage door open/close.
You may need to have someone help you with this procedure.
