Default Garage Door Opener Mod (Liftmaster, working intermittent?)

Last weekend, I added a garage door opener switch to my '09 Street Glide. I used a Liftmaster opener (Amazon, $25) and the Harley momentary switch (PN 71764-07, $35) originally designed for the CVO Electric Saddlebag lock.

For starters, the Liftmaster opener works great, in fact I have two of them and they both work great. When I soldered the switch wires to the opener circuit board, the opener now works intermittently even before I installed the switch on my Street Glide.

So, I unsoldered the wires, and the opener works fine again. Tried this also on the second Liftmaster opener and same thing. I checked the connections, replaced the battery, and drank a beer or two while I was wondering what the heck was going on but it didn't make any difference.

I tested the opener switch with a voltmeter before I soldered the switch wires to the circuit board so I'm relatively certain I made the right connection. But, either I didn't solder the wires to the right circuit on the opener, or something else is wrong.

Any ideas?
