Help needed! Mild2Wild fob programming problem
Santa was good to me (I must not have been too naughty this year) and brought me a M2W, which she somehow knew I wanted.
I installed it, and it works great from the fobs, but I've been able to program only one of the two visor buttons to work with the fob (the third visor button is owned by the garage door opener).
The non-programmed visor button (or maybe incorrectly programmed is a better description) will flash the light rapidly when I push it, but do nothing to the exhaust. When I hold the fob near it and press the fob button and the visor button at the same time, it flashes rapidly for a few seconds and then stays lit steadily.
I was able to successfully program the first fob button to the first visor button, so I'm stumped by this. Any ideas? Is there a way to clear any incorrect programming on a button so I can start from scratch?
TIA!

Here's how to reprogram a single Homelink button.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button:
When the following procedure is performed, buttons which already have devices registered to them can be overwritten without clearing other programmed buttons.
Clearing:
There's info on initial and rolling code programming if needed at the link.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button:
When the following procedure is performed, buttons which already have devices registered to them can be overwritten without clearing other programmed buttons.
- Press and hold the desired HomeLink button.
- Continue holding the HomeLink button for about 20 seconds, and the HomeLink indicator light will start slowly flashing. While continuing to hold the HomeLink button, position the garage door remote 5-30cm below the HomeLink buttons and press and hold the garage door remote until the HomeLink indicator light changes from slowly flashing to solid or rapidly flashing. This change indicates the frequency signal has been learned.
- Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
- If the indicator light is solid, programming is complete, and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly, proceed with “Rolling Code Training.”
Clearing:
- Before returning a leased vehicle or selling your vehicle, it is recommended that you clear any programmed HomeLink buttons.
- To do this, simply press and hold the outer two HomeLink buttons for 10 seconds, until the HomeLink indicator light changes from solid to blinking.
