When I push the buttons, no lights at all. The only lights that show are when I turn on the headlights. I know those are not part of the the Homelink system but part of the interior illumination.

I have held down the buttons for a lot longer than the required 20 seconds, no lights, solid or blinking.
I have pushed momentarily and steadily individual buttons, no lights, solid or blinking.

I have verified that I do have the module and that it is connected firmly in the front bumper.
Are the interior map lights working? Sounds like no power getting to the Homelink switches - bad connection??

Yeah, as of now, this is the only thing not working. Well, besides this and the TPMS. But that is because I have my old Boxster 18s on with no sensors while I am waiting for my new wheel from the shop.

OK.. I was unsure of posting the resolution to my conundrum of why Homelink wasn't working, but I am happy to say, it is now working.

Along with the new sensors I installed on the 18s, all modules are up and running.

So, yes, I did check ALL fuses installed, and they were all working.

So, as I was reading the forum and one thread was asking exactly what fuse was for Homelink. I thought that would be good to know, so that I can test any other equipment options that use the same fuse or at least test power to the fuse and out to see if there is a short or break somewhere.

Once I figure it wasn't listed as "Homelink" but "Network" I could now test.

No fuse. hmm.. well, lets put one in there. Yay. Works.

I really wish they would label it a little better.

But, so yeah.. it was the fuse, rather, lack of a fuse. And since nothing else shares that fuse, I had no idea that there wasn't supposed to be a fuse in that slot.

Same here. Never could get it to work. Just figured it was my garage door setup. Glad I stumbled on to this.
