how do you clear codes on a 2001 Lincoln continental garage door opener
in the car, press and hold your garage button until it begins to blink, while holding your regular garage door opener near to envoy button. While pressing both buttons, the light should flash rapidly and then go out. You should then have succesfully programed it. If not, try it again, some times needs to learn codes for your garage.
If you push the two outside buttons on your Homelink system until the light goes from a steady light to a flashing light, it should clear all stored codes in your system once it starts flashing.
If you want to add a remote, press the "set" button on the power unit until the green light blinks, then press the button on the remote. If you want the unit to forget all old codes and accept only the new remote, hold the "set" button until the green light stays on solid, then press the remote button.
First, if your car is used you may want to clear out the old codes. Insert the key in the ignition and turn the car on but don't start it. Simply hold down the outside (buttons 1 and 3) for twenty seconds. Once the light start flashing let go and the codes are then cleared. Next press and hold the button you want to program. After about twenty seconds the light will start blinking slowly. Without letting off the button hold the remote you want programmed about three or four inches from the transmitter and while pushing the button. When the light starts blinking faster it's programmed. If you have an a garage opener that uses code scrambling, you will need to program it as well.
Close the garage door. Push the learn button on the back of the drive unit (receiver), light comes on. Hold down button on the remote opener (transmitter) and wait until light flashes on the drive unit and then it's programmed. I learned the hard way you cannot program a rolling code transmitter and a billion code transmitter to the same unit, what happens in this case is when you clear all the codes by holding down the learn button on the drive unit for 6+ seconds (which clears the codes), then do the programming sequence above for the remotes, (if you have 2 remotes and one is a billion and one is a rolling) only one will program at a time.

Garage door opener receivers internalize upto 10 different codes from 10 different transmitters. You may have reached your limit and must clear the memory to install the correct codes. If you have a Liftmaster, press the learn button on back/top right for 10 seconds then reprogram each transmitter then the keypad following manufactures instructions.
1) Erase all your codes in the Homelink memory by pressing the two side buttons for 20+ seconds until the Homelink light flashes quickly. 2) Press and Hold your wireless garage door opener and the HomeLink button you want to program until the Homelink light flashes quickly. This will setup the Homelink opener temporarily. 3) Located and Press a scan button on the Garage door opener. Now press the button on the Homelink that you selected a few times (usually 5-8 times) until the garage door opens with the Homelink. Now its permanent. - I had this problem myself. I didn't have the wireless garage door opener so I used my keypad outside my home to program the HomeLink.
Hold down the left and right buttons at the same time to clear any existing codes. Make sure the battery in your garage door opener is good, then hold down the button in the Sequoia you want to program. After the 'homelink' house symbol starts to blink, hold down the button on your opener - held about 12-14" away from the headliner console. Once the house icon stops blinking, it should work. If not, repeat the process again. If it still doesn't work, try to put a new battery in the handheld opener and try again. Read your manual - the process is spelled out if you need help. Good luck
1. In the car, press and HOLD the outer two HomeLink buttons until the HomeLink light begins to flash rapidly. This will clear any old codes left in the car's controls. 2. Take the garage remote and hold it near the HomeLink buttons. Press and HOLD BOTH the garage remote and one of the HomeLink buttons until the HomeLink light begins to flash rapidly. Now your car has learned the proper garage door code, but you must get "permission" from the garage door opener itself before it will let the Buick open the door: 3. Climb up on a ladder and press the "Learn" button on the back of the garage door opener. WITHIN 30 SECONDS, get back into the car and press the programmed HomeLink button 3 times, for about 2 seconds each time. When the garage light flashes, your code is locked in! (Different door opener power heads have different routine to "learn" the HomeLink remote. Consult your owner manual for the door opener power head to program it to learn mode.) More specifics are available at homelink.com.
There's a little door somewhere on the garage door opener--the unit hooked to the door itself, not the remote in your car. If you open the door you'll find a little plastic block that has switches on its face. That's where the code is set. Reset it to anything else, making sure to reset the switches in the remote, and the stolen remote will trouble you no further.
You should be able to find this information in your owner's manual, but if you do not have one, then you can try the following:Homelink: Hold the button on the homelink system until it begins to blink. Then, while holding that button, hold the button on your garage door opener until the homelink button blinks faster. Next you will need to press and release the 'learn' button on the overhead garage door opener. Then, hold the button on the homelink you just programmed until the garage door closes. (Caution: If you press and hold the 'learn' button it will erase all of the codes programmed into the overhead unit.)
