This should work for you You will have to cut a slot in the outer part of your lighter to allow the lever of the above switch. When the charger is plugged in, it will depress the lever on the switch, this will trigger the relays, Door will open. You must use the Common and the normally open contacts on the switch, I have no idea of the location of these 2 terminals. It may or may not be as I drew it.

If you can figure out a way to make the 2 wires going to the switch connect to each other when a device is plugged into the lighter, then I guess the switch is not needed.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
