Default Home Link Problem

I tried to close my garage door yesterday with the Home Link Transmitter in my 05 Corvette. It is a factory installed Home Link. I get no lights on the three button control pad on the sun visor, nothing. I checked the Owner's Manuel for a listing for a fuse for the Home Link and did not see one. I also tried a search with no luck. Any one have a idea what's wrong?

Thanks

I'm assuming that you've set it up previously and that it's worked . . . that being the case, there's not much in thec ar that generally goes wrong.

Have you tried just reprogramming the unit? It's a pain, but if you follow the manual- pretty straight forward. With our garage units, weather, storms, power interruptions all seem to play a fector - -hence- a hardwired outdoor keypad.

Good luck - -sorry not to have more suggestions.

Default Home Link Problem

Yes, I had two garage doors programed and it worked fine since I got the car last year. One of the first things I thought of was to reprogram. However, pushing the buttons I get nothing, no red light or anything. I know it strange. I have and have had several other GM cars with the Home link and never had any problems.

O.K. fixed!

My first clue was that the lighted mirrors on both sun visors did not work. It was the fuse listed as courtesy/lights.

Wow-- nice work . . .that's an unusual repair to have to make.

Did you have to reprogram after replacing the fuse?

Default Home Link Repair

Once I put in a new fuse everything worked find. Did not need to reprogram the home link. I should add that visually I could not tell that the fuse was bad except that it looked dusty. Might have been corrosion. Don't know why that would be.
