These are the soldering points on the opener. You can see that each of the three areas have two separate and unconnected mazes of circuitry. The button is nothing more than a flat piece of metal that, when pressed down, connects the circuit to make the opener function. (Slightly smaller wire may make your soldering work easier.) | |||

The ~16 gauge wire is tapped into 2 of the 3 wires heading into the headlight. The only wire left out is the red/black wire. (See the [[Wiring Schematic|Wiring Schematic]].) Shown here is the wire tap used. You use them by putting two wires through two holes and clamping down on a metal clip with pliers. The clip then slices into both wires and closes the connection between them. Here is a picture of a wire tap: | The ~16 gauge wire is tapped into 2 of the 3 wires heading into the headlight.
