Hello,I have a dpco 12volt relay hooked up to a 2wire lock actuator that i need to stop the constant voltage. Needs to work just like power locks without the manual switching. The relay is triggered by a water sensor to change polarity .When the relay coil is not activated by this sensor the actuator is automaticaly reversed but has constant power both ways. Needs a timer of sort but I dont know what to use. Im limited to a very small space to add what is needed.Cap,transister,resistor? Thanks for helping me .

You're in the right direction.
Get yourself either a Spal or an MES locking timer.
DPCO with 3 second time out.
It's about 2" X 3". (50 cm X 75 cm).

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.
