pulse relay common problem?

Thanks Dual.  So over the last couple days, I've soldered, spent parts, and come up empty..   My last itteration had a 2200uF cap with a 15K resisitor.  It wires up fine and in therory should work fine, in reality it doesn't.   I've come to realize the tcs system must disable user input while it self-tests which I didn't think it did.  So what I need to figure out now is something that will delay the pulse output for xx seconds on power-on.  Something tells me I'm gonna end up with two relays and alot more wires..  =(

So what hell am I in for now...

Yep, I'm using the direct drive huge cap brute force method.. =P

Well, my original thought on the switch was the tcs doesn't lockout anything or self test since its part of the abs system, but appearently I'm wrong.  Another problem is the relay will energize at 10v instead of 12v.  I didn't count on that one happening either.  So what I have now is something that will work, but only after the system self-tests itself.  I'm gonna say a 10-15sec initial delay would be about right.  How to get that is where I'm at now...   To say I'm a bit baffled would be accurate.

It's easy enough to add the delay if you use the transistor drive-  I figured you'd need the delay after turn on, that's why I asked if you confirmed it works without the delay first-

I can draw it up if you want to try-

Please!!  I'd like to get my dash back together enough to drive it.. 

Also, sorry about me not checking first on the delay on..  But I honestly didn't think it would be a problem while I was testing the plug with a dmm.  =(

Well I did ask twice if it would work without a delay-

Shouldn't be hard to add a delay to the trigger; pretty sure it's been posted previously, but I'll draw it out if I can't find the post.  If you don't feel comfortable with electronic stuff, there are commercial products that will do it for you too.  Probably overkill for the application though, cause they're chock full of features you won't be using.

yea, i'm knockin my head on the wall for that one..

i have no problem working with electronics and such..    while i wouldn't want to build a motherboard, i could..  but why when they're 50 bucks these days? 

just need to know now what parts to buy and where to connect/solder everything.  i have yet to hack apart my latest relay setup in hopes that i just have to add to it..  =)

thanks again dual!
