how do you clear codes on a 2001 Lincoln continental garage door opener
Garage door opener receivers internalize upto 10 different codes from 10 different transmitters. You may have reached your limit and must clear the memory to install the correct codes. If you have a Liftmaster, press the learn button on back/top right for 10 seconds then reprogram each transmitter then the keypad following manufactures instructions.
If you have a chain drive garage door, there may be an Up Limit Cam Roller attached to a chain link assembly between the Door Opener unit and the Trolley where the release arm is attached. Loosen the Up Limit Cam Roller and move it a few chain links away from the Door Opener unit & toward the Trolley assembly. This should allow the garage door to open farther. Move as required to have the garage door fully clear the garage opening. The Up Limit Cam Roller assembly is what appears to stop the chain travel when it comes in contact with the Idler Sprocket at the Door Opener unit. I was the one who asked this question, but was able to figure it out after further review of my limited garage door opener instructions. I was having problems with the rear lift gate on my car hitting the garage door. This solved the problem.

There are a couple simple ways to fix a sticking garage door. The simplest is to make sure the area around the sensor is clear of debris. Double check to make sure the door is on track.
A garage door opener has become an indispensable appliance that is normally found in every modern home. Not only does it add convenience to the house, but most garage door openers have a security component that helps make the home more safe. For those homeowners who do not have a garage door opener, it is a relatively easy installation for a homeowner with even a modicum of mechanical ability. The first step in installing a garage door opener is deciding which type of garage door opener is right for the homeowner’s needs. Once that decision has been made and the garage door opener has been purchased, the next step is to open the garage door opener and check to make sure the garage door opener is complete. The next step is for the installer to gather any tools that will be needed for the installation. Typically, a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, a drill, a hammer, a ruler, and a leveler. Most garage door openers require that the first step in installing the garage door opener is assembling the rail. Once the rail has been assembled, the next step is inserting it into the power source. The slider/traveler unit must then be connected to the rail, and then the idler pulley must be affixed to the opposite side of the rail. The chain must now be attached to the traveler. Once the chain is attached to the traveler, the chain is then snaked around the drive wheels of the power unit and looped around the idler pulley back to the traveler. The chain ends are then attached with a retaining clip. The header must then be mounted at the height recommended by the manufacturer, and then attached to the idler assembly. The final step for attaching the garage door assembly is to attach the power unit to the garage ceiling joists. It is now time to make sure the door clears the manual unit. This is usually done by manually lifting the door to ensure it is able to clear the power unit. If it does not clear, the assembly must be adjusted. If it does clear the assembly, the sensors can then be installed. Once the sensors have been installed, it is time to test the door. Once the door has been successfully operated, the installation is complete.
Hold the 2 outer buttons down until the light in the little house icon flashes rapidly. That will clear the memory. Then you hold down the button on your opener remote while pushing the button you wish to program. When the flashing light changes from slow to rapid, you should be all set. If your opener has "rolling code" technology, you will have to program that by pushing your opener button in the car while somebody pushes the "learn" button on the opener itself.
1. In the car, press and HOLD the outer two HomeLink buttons until the HomeLink light begins to flash rapidly. This will clear any old codes left in the car's controls. 2. Take the garage remote and hold it near the HomeLink buttons. Press and HOLD BOTH the garage remote and one of the HomeLink buttons until the HomeLink light begins to flash rapidly. Now your car has learned the proper garage door code, but you must get "permission" from the garage door opener itself before it will let the Buick open the door: 3. Climb up on a ladder and press the "Learn" button on the back of the garage door opener. WITHIN 30 SECONDS, get back into the car and press the programmed HomeLink button 3 times, for about 2 seconds each time. When the garage light flashes, your code is locked in! (Different door opener power heads have different routine to "learn" the HomeLink remote. Consult your owner manual for the door opener power head to program it to learn mode.) More specifics are available at homelink.com.
First, if your car is used you may want to clear out the old codes. Insert the key in the ignition and turn the car on but don't start it. Simply hold down the outside (buttons 1 and 3) for twenty seconds. Once the light start flashing let go and the codes are then cleared. Next press and hold the button you want to program. After about twenty seconds the light will start blinking slowly. Without letting off the button hold the remote you want programmed about three or four inches from the transmitter and while pushing the button. When the light starts blinking faster it's programmed. If you have an a garage opener that uses code scrambling, you will need to program it as well.
If you push the two outside buttons on your Homelink system until the light goes from a steady light to a flashing light, it should clear all stored codes in your system once it starts flashing.
If you want to add a remote, press the "set" button on the power unit until the green light blinks, then press the button on the remote. If you want the unit to forget all old codes and accept only the new remote, hold the "set" button until the green light stays on solid, then press the remote button.
Hold down the left and right buttons at the same time to clear any existing codes. Make sure the battery in your garage door opener is good, then hold down the button in the Sequoia you want to program. After the 'homelink' house symbol starts to blink, hold down the button on your opener - held about 12-14" away from the headliner console. Once the house icon stops blinking, it should work. If not, repeat the process again. If it still doesn't work, try to put a new battery in the handheld opener and try again. Read your manual - the process is spelled out if you need help. Good luck
