Door popping circuit

well, i guess its not a great problem here, but you can see that it may cause problems in some scenaro's.

Instead of a timer, it should be permenant until the locking circuit is turned to "lock".

The key fobs have "lock" and "unlock" on them, so i guess even though the car may well be in an "unlocked" state, pressing the unlock button again will activate the circuit by putting a pulse though it.

Anyone any ideas to beat this electronically?

hi there. Im sorry if its sounding like rubbish, plus its just a bit of fun really, trying to solve a problem.

Over here in the UK, there must be a means to enter the car from the outside you see. You cant just have the door pop open from a remote key fob. There has to be something such as a button on the outside of the car.

Thats why im looking for a system that will allow the button on the outside to function once the car is unlocked, and not function when it is locked.

the law is enforced yes. In the UK with have a thing called a "MOT test" every year, which tests almost all aspects of the car to a set of rules, in regards to saftey. One of the laws is:

"There must be a obvious means of entry to the vehical from the outside". ie, a button on the door or door pillar. Now if there is a button, you only want it to open the door when the door is unlocked.

Could you help me with your suggestion of ground when armed through a simple diagram or explanation? Im looking for idea's as im fairly new to electronics.

Thanks!

hi there.

Im sorry, i dont understand the diagram. I am new to electronics and am finding it difficult, thats why i thought id ask on here for the experts. I can only really understand from illustration.

I have drawn up this new diagram of what i have in my head at the moment.

Would you guys be able to add to my diagram, or draw up a new one for how the "Ground when armed" will work? I will be pleased if you can help.

I guess.... in a way... i dont have to actually lock the car. And as for just putting "Relays", thats all well and good but i have never actually used one before.

This was just an idea you know, gave me something to think about as i was trying to learn about electics and how things work. But i take your point, i dont really have to lock the doors.

Ok then, lets look at it this way. I wont have the doors locked. But i do still need a way for the button on the outside of the car to only work when the keyfob has been pressed. Can a basic diagram for this be drawn up so i know which wires to wire into the relay?
