It won't be near the power head when the door is closed and not all will work like the one in the video. Mine won't, it's pin that goes straight up.

The switch sounds like a leg. Powering the 2 wires of a leg won't do anything unless you can catch the neutral. Now, if the box has a ground or is grounded, you might get the garage powered up by powering up the power leg of the switch and attaching your neutral to the box or ground.

Install an exterior outlet once this is over to ensure you can power the garage in the future by backfeeding the outlet.
