Relay problem?

on the relay the terminals are numbered 85,86,87,87a,30 what are these wires going to and what does your nos need to see to trigger 12v, or gorund? with that information i will be able to help you.

does terminal 85 send power when activated as well as 86 send ground or vice versa? my question to you is that you might have two cicuits sending the same signal both ground or both power. if this is the case you will probally need 2 relays.  on the flip side if one is power and one is ground this will energize the coil (85,86) then you will want to check to see if your getting 12vollts into terminal 30, then when activated is 87 getting 12 volts (use a meter). you should also be able to hear the relay clicking when its energized if its in the car if its under the hood it you wont hear it. it sounds as though your power supply isnt getting 12 volts though.  let me know what you find .

hope this helps

In order for a relay to work:

You must have 12 volts constant or a momentary trigger (12 volts) on pin 85 and a ground signal on pin 86 to enegize the coil, which intern moves the switch.

You can Not have to like polarity's on these pins.

Use a multimeter or test light and figure out which wires are 12v and ground.

Hope that Helps,
