My Jaguar is old enough (10 years! How time flies) that the HomeLink buttons on the rear view mirror would not work with the old house's garage door motor. There is a unit that is effectively a translator from the antique codes to the new one. You plug it into any outlet line of sight to the motors and do a silly little dance with an intermediate box to synchronize the antique with the modern secure opener. At some point, I tried to reprogram the code on the garage door threshold and the Jaguar no longer could speak Klingon to the little translator.
Eventually, I learned that LED bulbs produce a signal that prevents reprogramming. (In the meantime, I had installed these amazing five panel but Edison bulb compatible fixtures. I should have turned them off and reprogrammed the Jaguar, but I kept forgetting to do so.)
When I moved, I had one of the moving hunks unplug the translator unit from the ceiling outlet. But where did I put it?
Fortunately, they are only about $40, so I ordered another one.
The very best way to find a lost item is to buy a new one.
