Default Homelink Help Please!

So I installed a homelink into my corvette visor by gutting one out of an 03 nissan altima. Followed the DIY thread here: http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...light=homelink and now am having some issues.

I can hook up a 12v battery charger to the plug that goes into the visor and everything works, the homelink & the mirror lights. However, when I plug the visor into the corvette, the mirror lights work, but the homelink does not. Does the corvette wiring not have a full 12v available via that plug? Anyone have any suggestions for me?

That was it, thanks! I actually thought of that and desoldered my connections to switch them. But then I got distracted, and ended up soldering them back the same way later thinking I was swapping them out. After a review again I realized they were still wrong. All is working now, thanks again!
