Great, did you use the Targa switch or some other type switch?

i personally used the targa switch, just for the icon.
the switch itself is the same as your window switch. after all, the targa is just a large window.

So I finally had a chance to work on the garage opener and window switch. I soldered as mentioned below with the COMMON going to 4th smaller hole on the board and then each SWITCH to the top part of the contacts. Nothing happened.
I then looked at the 2 contacts that Particlewave suggested and those Contcts worked with one of the doors, however it was the door my wife uses. So next task was to figure which hole on the board was for the other door...my door! After about 10 minutes and testing the remaining holes on the board, I was finally able to find the hole(contact) that controlled my door. I soldered it up and was able to get both doors working with the points noted. No pics of the soldered board as I immediately tape wires and placed back in the car.
Thanks for all the help Meir and Particlewave.
