I want to add some offroad lights to my 2013 yukon and i want to know if there is a way to use the garage door buttons as auxiliary switches.

Thanks for any info

This switches are part of a bigger module. You would have to tear the module apart and see if you can rewrite them to power something else.

you know, if you can get it to program to the code. you might be about to use something like this.

WOODGUILIN Wireless Remote Car Kill Switch,200A Car Battery Disconnect Switch,DC12V-72V Wireless Remote Control Switch Anti Leakage Battery Isolator,for Heavy Equipment,Car,Truck,inverters,Pumps. https://a.co/d/1kTSn6V


they also sell cheap add on power door lock kits from China, you can get the boards with Relay and remote for cheap in ebay and stuff

stuff like this.. works in the 433Mhz band with a 10amp relay. so cheap that if it doesn't work, just toss it haha.




would be helpful to find out what the old opener module work on. most of these older home link ones dont even work on newer garage doors. I recently upgraded to a wifi opener cause only one of my 3 cars with built in opener buttons could program to what I had. now I just use my phone.

I believe I have heard of someone disassembling the unit and placing switches behind the original buttons so you can keep it 100% stock looking..

Or find some good looking switches that can install in the same spot..
I was thinking about moving my ditch light switches to the overhead console as well, but maybe on either side of the liftgate switch.
I don't have a sunroof, so I can use those switch areas..
