Need a little help here. My HD garage door opener doesn't work with my new Craftsman opener (Mod-139.54985). Tried wiring to the opener contact in both polarities, with and without the unit's wall switch. No luck. I noticed when the HD opener activates, the wall switch led blinks once. The door never moves.
Are the new openers incompatible with the HD opener or am I missing Something?
Try yelling out "OPEN SESSAMEEE !" A HD garage door opener is 150 bucks and you have to flash your high beams. I would return it and get a 10 dollar mini remote and a velcro strip from Home Depot. Mine works great.
Not out of the box. LIftmaster/Chamberlain/Sears Assurelink, etc. use a serial protocol for their wired wall controls. There is a modification available on ebay that will make the receiver fully compatible with these openers. Just do a search on ebay for the model number of the receiver (91562-01) and look for the listing titled "Make your Harley Davidson garage door opener compatible with MyQ garage openers!"
I've had the same issue with a new Chamberlain opener and someone sent me the modification. It involves soldering the HD receiver wire to two of the board contacts on the wall buttons. Right now I'm using the old tried and true mini-remote in the fairing storage compartment of my road glide.
I bought one last week to go on my new Dyna. The instructions where so hard to figure out so I returned it. I bought a bagger trip reset button and soldered the wires to the circuit board on my garage door opener. Then I hide it under the dash. Maybe $25 invested and I don't have to wear out my headlight switch.
I just took a universal remote, soldered the switch so it was shorted, put in the 12 pin code for my opener on it, and connected the battery leads to my horn terminals. Spent $12 and put it under my seat.
I had what you describe happen once last fall. My garage door button lock was turned on by accident. Could only open the garage door by the wired button on garage wall (where the button lock was). Not sure if it's the same issue as you, but throwing it out there.
Too bad most of the dumb *** dopes in this thread couldn't help you at all, but show pictures of something completely unrelated.
