Another Garage Door Opener Solution
Another Garage Door Opener Solution
Since joining HDForums and reading several (50 or 60) threads on how to incoporate or retro fit my garage door opener I came-up with this idea.
Here is what I did;
I purchased a power supply to add to my Ultra but could not come to grips on making a hole in my side panel. So this is what the power supply from HD looks like.
Take apart a 12V garage door opener.
Take pliers or wire cutters and squish the ends that hold the 12V battery to the garage door opener.
Solder a wire to the remote main button so it will always be on when it gets power.
Here is what the finish product looks like w/o the garage door remote cover.

Here is the finished product ready to be plugged in
Plugging it in
To activate the garage door opener I turn the Accessory button on and off to send the signal.
Thanks and I hope this helps.

Can you buy just the male plug with a pigtail that plugs under the seat without the 12 volt recepticle?

I found a spot in front of the battery box and twist tied the wires so it would not move. I would have a picture but my camera will not fit in the space.
Not sure if you can. It would be a good question for a HD dealer.
