Current drain and regulators

I used a regular garage (Genie) door opener that I picked up that looks beaten badly for a few bucks, I did the smart connect and found it to be working perfectly. I used a 12V regulator and tied to a "always hot" wire in the harness behind the climate control that was originally used for the cell option. I disassembled the opener and used a defrost switch off fleabay and wired it directly....just wrapped the opener in plastic and stuffed it all behind the tray radio area (lots of room there) and it has always worked.....I never worry about the battery going dead. If memory serves me correctly I measured the current drain and found it to be in single digit milliamps.....the switched may not be marked correctly but I know what it is.
