I was having to do the same thing. I found that the LED bulb in my garage door opener was interfering with my homelink. So I started turning the light off and then stepping over the sensor. Yesterday I purchased a LED bulb made by Genie especially for garage door openers and it works like a champ now.

I did not set up my Home Link because these trucks are way too easy to break into. No sense giving perps access to my garage door, too. OTOH, if you always park inside your garage, then no problem.

The range on my 2019 is terrible. It is about half the range or worse of my wife’s Escalade. On the Genie’s you have to get out and hit the learn button on the garage door opener itself. Follow the genie directions online not the Ford directions. The Ford directions worked fine for my driveway gate.

Well, though my homelink is now programmed I’m sorry to report that the range is quite poor. I am luck to get 50’ out of mine before it becomes out of range. The genie remote worked beyond this distance, though not by much. I seldomly use the remote regardless as my truck doesn’t fit in my garage so it makes me happy to be able to get ride of the remote on the visor, but I can see the frustration for those lucky enough to have a garage large enough to park in.

Found these instruction on another site. Worked for programming the Homelink buttons on my 2018 F250 with my 2002 Chamberlain opener:
This process is much easier to accomplish with two people. However, I will give directions taking into account the movements in and out of the garage that must be undertaken by a single person.
If you got to step 14 and the transmitter in your vehicle is still not working; I encourage you to go back to your vehicle owner’s manual and begin again. Multiple attempts at this process will be required in most cases. Don’t get discouraged.

- Test your remote. Make sure it’s programmed and operates the door.
- Make sure the button in your car is cleared/reset if required.
- Set-up a ladder, if required; for easy access to the learn button on your garage door opener.
- Locate the learn button. Refer to our article on programming garage door remotes for more info.
- Pull your car into the driveway, directly in front of the garage door.
- Close the garage door.
- Press button on remote and hold (if door doesn’t go up, press the button again and hold). Do NOT let go of the remote button, keep it depressed through steps 8, 9 & 10.
- Hold the remote next to your car’s transmitter (the location you previously found in your owner’s manual).
- Depress the button on your vehicle’s visor or mirror that’s to operate the door. Remember, you’re still holding the remote button too.
- Watch the indicator light. In most vehicles, when the light either blinks rapidly or turns off, the vehicle has matched the remote’s frequency. This may take up to 45 seconds. You can now let go of both buttons.
- Go inside your garage, up the ladder, and press your opener’s learn button (release immediately). You now have approximately 30 seconds to get back to your car and perform step 12.
- Press the button, on your visor or mirror, that you want to have open the door. Unlike regular door remotes you may have to depress the button for a second or more before the opener reads the signal.
- On Chamberlain, Liftmaster, Raynor and Sears models you will see the opener light flash. On Genie models, press the button in your car one more time.
- Press the button in your vehicle once again. If you were successful in your programming the door will close.
If you got to step 14 and the transmitter in your vehicle is still not working; I encourage you to go back to your vehicle owner’s manual and begin again. Multiple attempts at this process will be required in most cases. Don’t get discouraged.
