Normal Operation

The universal transmitter receives voltage through the battery saver relay power output circuit. The power and ground circuits are shared with the LH vanity mirror lamp.

When a programmed button is pressed on the universal transmitter, a wireless signal is sent to the receiver unit. If the device does not operate the garage door, it may be due to an incorrect programming procedure being carried out. Refer to Universal Transmitter Programming Universal Transmitter Programming to verify the universal transmitter was correctly programmed. If necessary, contact the Lear Car2U(R) Customer Service Center at 866-572-2728, or the customer support website at www.learcar2u.com.
