First steps on the garage door opener, the Pushbutton switch, I used two as that is what I need. I drill and tap for 1/2" - 20, that is the same thread that the switch uses, because the nut does not fit inside. I cut out most of the plastic inside the cover. As you can see the wires are all ready welded to the switches, next will be to open up the remote and weld the wires from the switches and for the positive and negative as my remote uses 12volt battery and I'll hard wire it(no need to replace the battery. This is the switch I used: RadioShack p/n 275-0644 Black p/n 275-0646 red(pic)
The switches are installed in one of the covers that go on the left side of dash behind the steering wheel. You can see the empty space in the following pic
thats awesome, ive been looking for a switch that would fit that space, all ive come up with was buying an ACS switch for 50 bucks
Continuing with the fabrication here is a better picture of the 2 switches: The inside of the control: I have a 3 button control Here you can see all the wires already welded, one for each button and one for power, you have to use a continuity checker in order to see which terminals to weld the wires. And here is the finished product, to the left of the foglights switch. A closer look.
that is very cool. let's pray your garage door opener does not kick it on you. It is a super cool and useful mod. Good work
