Be careful when doing that as accidently touching the wire somewhere you shouldn't could potentially let the smoke out of a component. (All those electronic components are made with some amount of "magic smoke" and once you release that smoke, the component no longer works. )

Ah HA!! So THAT'S how that works !!!!!!

I am so gonna impress my kids when they hear this !!!!!

So you're gonna try it? If so good luck. The reason why I'd solder to the back is the board already had a bit of solder on it place a little bit on the wire. Then place the wire on the board to it solder heat the wire just a wee bit it'll solder on. After you do both wire then you have to make sure the solder didn't over flow into each contact if it does then take a sharp object and scrape/cut the solder. OH if you're doing this near your garage you might want to take the battery out, your door will open and close while you're doing this. I did mine at another place.

Now that you have done yours.... I am next.... Do I need an appointment or you just drop in?????

Give me a call we'll work something out. The truck opener requires DEI 524N Lock Motor; the site below sells them for $14.12 plus $10.40 for Ground Shipping. Radio Shack for the button switch $2.98. I should have some speaker wires in my garage so that is covered.

Nice work. Very clean.

These are both great Mods! I did the garage door opener today, and it works great! I do have a question about the trunk release actuator:

How did you wire this? I picked up a power door lock actuator at a local parts store today, but when you wire it up, it either goes all the way out, or all the way in (when you reverse polarity). I am looking for a solution so that it justs actuates in one direction, and returns to "home" postion.

What did you do for yours?

I used the accessory plug Fuse. The power to the accessory goes off 30 seconds after the key is turn off. This is nice after you turn off the spyder you have up to 30 seconds to open your trunk. I've placed my on the left of the latch so it needed to be push to open the trunk if you use the cable which I don't recommend because you've become reliable only to the actuator if it fails for what ever reason then you can always use the key to open it.

How do you have the actuator attached to the release latch?

Looking at his picture closely, I'd say it just pushes against the cable pull portion of the release latch.
