I found myself trying to find another simple yet very meaningful project for the celica when I came across an idea for a diy garage door opener that wires up to the batter while i was trying to open my damn garage door with the pos battery one in my car in 0 degree weather. I'll be following the guide of this DIY Garage Door Opener. I'll be sure to keep you all informed of how it all goes. I'm also going to throw a twist on the button that I think you'll all find very enjoyable wink.gif . I'm still in the process of measuring things out and finding the right parts. I should be done with it in the next 2weeks -1month depending on when the parts get in and when I have time to work on it.

And does it go down when you disconnect them, or do you need to send the signal again to close it? If the latter, that would indicate the button is meant to be an interrupt switch, while you need a button which creates continuity when pressed.
