I answered your Question while you were looking. How strange is that?

BTW, can you explain to me what grounding the resistor and capacitor like that does?

Thanks! i'm very curious how it works.

Oh, went to the electronics store today and they told me that there is no such thing as a 2500uf capacitor. Did i get screwed around with :(

2500 uF does exist. If you were screwed around it was from the guy at the shop you went to!

You could also try two 1000uF capacitors in Parallel to get 2000 uF That will give about a 1 second Delay.

I went to 2 different places and the best they had was 2200 16v. Does it matter what voltage capicitor i get? Should i use 2x 2200 16V ones? i'm asking cuz the pack they have is a 2 pack.

Thanks Wizard!

Yeah those people told me that the 2500uf was an oddball one...jerks!...

This is not rocket science. I was guessing at the value anyways, try one 2200 uF first and see if it works. Pay attention to the +on the capacitor. If you get it backwards it will be an electric party popper. The voltage rating does matter, never go lower than your working voltage.

Hi Wizard!

I did everything as per the diagram but found that i had to reverse the diode around to get it to work. Maybe i'm just confusing myself or didn't originally understand the diagram but this worked like a charm!

yay! i finally have remote trunk release! using just a plain jane actuator that one would use for a door.

OOPS! Here is the correct Diagram.

Just showes I am not perfect. LOL will this burn up actuator? - Page 2 -- posted image.
