Anyone know what size capacitor I would need to get about a 2 minute output using this relay wiring?

Forget it!
But assuming 12V & a 60 Ohm relay coil and a relay dropout of ~4.5V, a 2F capacitor.

Bah! I've got 3 or 4 hanging around!
Ok, so that's out. Here's what I'm trying to do:
I want to activate a relay by pushing a momentary switch, I want it to stay on for 2 minutes then shutoff if no more input is given.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Travis

DEI 528T timer.
I believe two minutes is the max amount of set time. Have used one for years on my bed lights with a neg alarm aux. Easy to use, install and find. Should be under $20 with shipping.

1 min is max for the 528t. I need more than that.

Just remembered, my alarm is 60 sec out and the timer is another 60sec.
Giving me the 2 minutes.
Another option is the Inpower SSR timers available on Waytek's site.

After 2 minutes with the truck off. If the truck is on, and the button is pushed the relay would activate and stay activated, until 2 min after the truck is shut off.
