Relay problem, Brain Dead

velocity,

Did you get the relays to work the way you wanted them to?  If so could you tell me how you did it?  I'd like to do something similar with my power windows.  Thanks.

Hey ShaunD912;

Still working on it right now. I have been a little too busy with other customer's vehicles / You know how it is .... the installer's car is always the LAST one to be worked on. I'll post my results when I get it going as far as relay configurations go.

yea, i understand.

there is one difference in what i want to do.  i don't want mine to latch.  i just want it to work as long as you hold the button.  thanks.

Hey Velocity,

I was checking to see if you got it to work yet.

Use a P&B mechanical latching relay. Use one push button, push and hold and will make motor go forward. Release and motor will stop. Push again to reverse motor. Release to stop. The relay has two SPDT switches, one switch is common to N.C. while the other is common to N.O., and switches over when the relay is activated. Let me know if need a drawing.

Hey Karl;

I got it going with the use of just two relays and the 2 outputs of the alarm system. Thanks for the help.

What kind of alarm do you have that has 12 channels? Mine only has 2.

The alarm is an Alpine 8063 with the 12 EXT expansion module.

Hey,

go2pac could you send me a copy of your drawing. I going to run my doors off linear actuators so i need to do the same type of wiring. one momentary switch to open extend and contract the acuators.  Thanks

This should do it. This is the mechanical relay that P&B has and is kind of huge, but they or some other company might have a smaller one that does the same thing.
