Shouldn\'t this work? (wiring problem)
i installed my homelink visor over the weekend, but was unable to get any power through it at all. here's what i did (it was used, so maybe it just doesn't work, but it seemed to be in good shape):
homelink doesn't plug right up, so i had to strip the 2 wires from the headliner (brown ground and power for vanity (brown with a stripe)) and the 3 wires in the homelink (brown ground, vanity power, and black/red homelink power). the headliner wires are labeled 1 & 2 (ground and power) and the wires coming from homelink were labeled 1, 2, $ 3. i spliced the 2 grounds together and then wrapped the power wire from the headliner around both the vanity and homelink wires on the visor. i then connected car battery and tried out the light and homelink but nothing worked. i kept the grounds spliced together at all times, but tried headliner power wire to just visor vanity wire, but still nothing. i then tried headliner power to just homelink wire and still nothing.
is there something i'm obviously doing wrong, or should this work and the visor may simply not work? i hope this hasn't been confusing or long winded. thanks in advance.
