If you're still experiencing programming difficulties, weak batteries in your remote could be the cause. Open your remote control and inspect the battery. Replace the existing battery with a new, fresh battery of the correct type (typically a coin cell battery). After replacing the batteries, try reprogramming your remotes again using the appropriate method for your specific remote and opener type.
