What brand of garage door opener do you have? How old is it? Can you see a model number? I was a garage door installer / technician for 6 years... I've programmed many of these.
If you don't have a manual, basically, you start by clearing out the codes (I believe you hold the first and third buttons for like 20-30 seconds simultaneously.)
Then, you program the button you want to use. To do this:
1. Press and hold the button you want to use on the home-link. The light should start flashing.
2. Press the button on your garage door opener. The light will flash fast, then go out (I believe... it's been a few years, excuse my mistakes)
3. If you have a non-rolling code opener, your homelink should now operate your garage door. If you have a rolling-code opener (Genie Intellicode, Liftmaster / Chamberlain / Craftsman Security+ and billion code) you will have to program your homelink to your opener. To do that, you press the "Learn button" on the garage door opener (Liftmaster = Green / Purple / Orange button, Genie = black / purple button) then...
For Genie ... go to your homelink and press the button 3 times. The garage door should operate on the 3rd time.
For Liftmaster / Chamberlain / Craftsman - press and hold the button until the lights on the opener flash. Press the button again and the door should operate. :thumbsup:

LOL... well, if he's anything like me... he doesn't have the owner's manual...
BTW - the owner's manual doesn't show the last few steps for rolling-code openers. :thumbsup:
(at least it didn't the last time I programmed a homelink-compatible car)
Not to mention... that was all off the top of my head... didn't have to research anything to find it. I have a lot of crap rattling around up there...
