How do I program a Jeep Grand Cherokee garage door opener?

I just moved to a new house, and need to reprogram my Jeep Grand Cherokee garage door opener. Unfortunately, I threw out the manual in the move, so I don’t remember how to do it? How do I program the garage door opener for my Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Congrats on your new place! I totally understand how things get lost in a move. Luckily, programming a
Jeep Grand Cherokee
garage door opener is pretty easy—so you don’t need to worry about your missing manual.
All Jeeps use a HomeLink system to store data to connect to up to three different garage doors at once. Here’s what you need to do to reprogram yours:
  • Park outside of the door you wish to program
  • Reset the HomeLink memory system by holding down the two outside buttons until you see the indicator light flash. This will erase all previous data stored in the system]
  • Look at your garage door opener to determine what type of opener you have. To do this, look for a LEARN or TRAIN button located next to the motor. If you have one, you’re using a rolling code garage door opener. If you don’t, you’re using an older system
  • Once you’ve figured out the type of garage door opener you have, put your car’s ignition switch to the “on/run” position but do not engage the engine
  • Hold your handheld transmitter 3-8 centimeters away from the HomeLink system
  • At the same time, push and hold the transmitter for your garage door opener and the HomeLink button you want to program
  • The HomeLink light will flash rapidly after 30 seconds. This indicates that the connection was successful
  • Once you see the flashing light, release both buttons
You may want to check to make sure that the HomeLink system was programmed by holding down the button to see if the light stays consistent. If it does, the programming was successful.
If you have an older garage door system, you’re done! If not, you have a few more steps:
  • Push the LEARN or TRAIN button on the garage door opener
  • You now have 30 seconds to get back to the HomeLink system and push the HomeLink button twice
  • If the garage opens, you’re all set!
