nos remote bottle opener wiring- HELP I bought a nos 16058 remote bottle opener and I tried hooking it up every which direction. I did get it work open and close, but the opener gets very, very hot, what am I doing wrong. I hooked (white to ground)-(red to switch)-(black to constant power) is this right and the opener is bad or did i do something wrong. someone please help.
yes you did something wrong Do yourself a favor and ask for instructions before not after
now that i'm done with the lecture the wiring for the valve is:
white to ground
red opens valve
black closes valve
By having power on all the time to the black you kept the solenoid energized which in tern caused all of the heat.
The kit comes with a switch that only stays energized momentarely (while you hold it). The center post of switch runs to battery (12v positive)this is the power in to the switch. use one of the outer posts to power the red
(or open) valve wire and the other for the black (or closed) valve wire.
hope this helps

The type switch your looking for is a reversing switch.
To make your opener work you do the following
1) Always keep the white wire grounded.
2) Apply 12v to the red wire to open the valve
3) Apply 12V to the black wire to close the valve.
