I am trying to program mine in my 07 Tahoe and I noticed something. Where it shows three lights over the switches in the manual mine only has one over the middle button? Is there a difference between them or what?

Mine only has the one lite over the middle button. I think that's all my 02 TrailBlazer had also.

Ok thanks...I just got word that there is only supposed to be one light.

Programming the Universal Home Remote System
To program up to three devices:

Press and hold down the two outside Universal Home Remote buttons, releasing only when the Universal Home Remote indicator light begins to flash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons.
Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Universal Home Remote buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
At the same time, press and hold both the desired Universal Home Remote button and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until Step 4 has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure noted in "Gate Operator and Canadian Programming" later in this section.

The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly after Universal Home Remote successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons.
Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home Remote button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on continuously, programming is complete and your device should activate when the Universal Home Remote button is pressed and released.

To program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under "Programming Universal Home Remote." Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the programmed channels.

If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with Steps 6 through 8 following to complete the programming of a rolling-code device, most commonly, a garage door opener.

Locate in the garage, the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the "Learn" or "Smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
Firmly press and release the "Learn" or "Smart" button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.

Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the programmed Universal Home Remote button for two seconds, then release it. Immediately press and hold the same button a second time for two seconds, then release it. Immediately, press and hold the same button a third time for two seconds, then release.
The Universal Home Remote should now activate the rolling-code device.

Thanks Dave...that is a lot different then my manual says. It tells to write down the codes from inside the remote and program them in the buttons.

Dave your way of doing it was 100 times easier then the way the book has it. [sm=hail.gif]

You were reading the instructions for the old (<1996) style openers. Dave gave you the instructions (correctly) for the newer ones with rolling codes. (page 181)

Don't forget to erase when you get rid of your truck. (Press and hold outer two buttons until indicator lite starts to flash, after 20 seconds.)
