Should I just drill into the case to run wires into it and seal it up with hot glue? Or is there better option?
My absolute favorite way to do this is to remove the battery and run your horn wires to the leads, "T" taps work okay, be mindful of pos/neg and rig the button to be pressed in all the time. Wrap it in tape to seal it and strap it in by the horn/on the horn bracket. Viola, when you pull up to your house, beep the horn and your garage door will open. I really should sell these....
