Wiring in a garage door opener

If anyone has a wiring diagram for th 05 or newer, we can figure this out pretty quick. My diagram is pre-05 and doesn't have the flash-to-pass switch on it.

This is on my to-do list. Here is a good break down.

LOL! Funny you say that!
Skotty was asking me today about the hazards and FTP switch on mine. He has an '03 - they first added FTP and hazards to the '04...
...anyway - I told him that I'm thinking of disabling my FTP so I can use it for a Garage Door Opener!
FTP switch completes the +12v to the highbeam. It is directly wired to the highbeam, it's not run thru a relay. So, if you use it in its current state, you're gonna potentially have +12v running thru your garage door opener. Another consideration is that when the highbeam is turned on via the rocker switch, +12v is also sitting on the FTP switch.
I really don't use my FTP - I can flip a rocker switch for when I need to flash my highbeam... So I was thinking of cutting the wiring from the FTP switch and running two wires from the FTP switch to my garage door opener and soldering them in.

You should build a little power supply while you are at it to eliminate the batteries in the opener and run it off a switched power source on the bike.
I bought a programmable door opener that I wired to the horn, why the horn, because it was easy to get to and I didn't have to cut any wires. It worked great until I moved. Now the garabe opener isn't compatible with the remote that I had wired... I will look for the manufacturer of the remote if you all want. Worked great, now I have to carry the darn remote fob..
