Default 2/3 Homelink Buttons Not Working

My 2010 Lariat has three garage door buttons on the visor. I had it programmed for our left garage door on the left button, and right garage door on the right button. A couple of years ago the left button stopped working, so I programmed the middle button to work with the left garage door. Today the middle button stopped working. The leds light up when I press any of the corresponding buttons, but I guess the part that sends a signal is hosed. Is there a module that can be replaced? Or do I need to replace the entire visor?

You tried reprogramming?

Sometimes people add remotes to a door without understanding there is a limit, and when you go over it the first unit drops off.

Try reprogramming. Or follow the opener's instructions and delete all remotes and start over.

The unit is easily replaceable if needed. $20 on Ebay. https://www.f150forum.com/f4/install...5/#post1055940

I tried reprogramming after the first button stopped working, but I didn't after the second button stopped working. I do plan to do that before I order any replacement parts.

This particular door does have more remotes than the other one, but I haven't added any new ones in a couple years. Not sure why it would drop one off now if I have exceeded a limit. Thanks for the link to the module replacement. I will go that route if reprogramming is unsuccessful.

I just picked up a Homelink installed visor from the local "you pull it" junkyard today for $5, 3 screws holding the visor on an '01 Lincoln LS. Any Module will work from any vehicle, the module is universal. My 09 FX4 did not have the module, so I had to wire it as well. Replacing/ installing a module is not a difficult task with the right tools, it is tedious because you don't want to damage your visor while taking apart.

Ford OEM visor = between $350 and $400
Module on eBay = approx $80
Used color matched visor = good luck finding one
Junkyard visor = $5
