Receiver and Transmitter Programming
After the receiver and transmitter are installed, the receiver must be programmed to receive the transmitter frequency. This process may require two people, depending upon how far apart the receiver and transmitter are during the programming process.
NOTE
Verify that the ignition key switch is in the OFF position before installing the main fuse or attaching the negative battery cable.
1. Models with main fuse: Refer to the service manual and follow the instructions to install the main fuse. Models with main circuit breaker: Refer to the service manual and follow the instructions to attach the negative battery cable. Apply a light coat of Harley-Davidson electrical contact lubricant (Part No. 99861-02), petroleum jelly or corrosion retardant material to the negative battery terminal.
2. Check that a red LED is illuminated on the front of the Harley-Davidson garage door opener receiver (in the garage), indicating power to the receiver.
3. See Figure 26. Press and hold the SET button on the Harley-Davidson garage door opener receiver. The LED on the transmitter (on the vehicle) blinks continuously while the SET button is pressed.
