An electrical connector having a terminal blade that has two spaced legs between which a spring contact strip is received. An L-shaped tab extends from one leg to the other to lock the two legs together in a spaced relationship. The spring contact strip has locking tabs that are received in openings in the terminal blade to hold the contact strip in the blade. Lead in tabs and stops are provided on the contact strip to aid in assembly of the contact strip to the terminal blade.

Electrical terminal connector

A remotely controlled electrical accessory system for starting an engine of a vehicle and actuating a garage door opener attached to a garage door. The system includes a first transmitter for producing an engine ignition signal and a second transmitter for producing a garage door opener actuation signal. A receiver starts the engine of the vehicle and energizes the second transmitter to produce the garage door opener actuation signal in response to the engine ignition signal. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a proximity sensor attached to the vehicle for producing a gating signal in response to a closed garage door. Preferably, the receiver starts the engine of the vehicle in response to the engine ignition signal and energizes the second transmitter to produce the garage door opener actuation signal in response to the engine ignition signal and the gating signal.
