I would like to thank all the folks that provide the information on this site. I would be in the dark without you.

After review of the wiring digram (provided by this site!) of the power window switch I conclude that it can't be used to control two garage door openers and have the illumination lights hooked up too. Can be forced to work if you want to power your garage remote with a battery (not connected to your car in anyway). Can not share the ground of the car or it will short out. I would not recommend trying it.

Reviewing the other posts it is concluded that the Targa Switch is the best looking candidate anyway for a garage door hack. Part #:996.613.211.910.A05 Before I order one I was hoping to see a wiring diagram. Any one have one.

Another choice I have seen is the spoiler control switch. This one will work very well to control two garage door openers and dash-illumination, but doesn't look as good for a garage door.

Thanks

After looking over the wiring diagram for a Targa shade (blinds) switch, its internals appear to be identical to the diagram for a 996TT spoiler control switch which I've attached.

BTW, if you find some other switch which has more desirable graphics on it, you should be able to transfer its toggle (cap) over to the body of a Targa shade switch, or 996TT spoiler switch, and use that combination.

Thanks, I'll order the Targa switch today.
