Hi,

for my first post i would like to wire a red led to a mom/off/mom switch which is negative.

The switch is linked to aftermarket central locking, i would like it to illuminate when locked, then go off when it

recieves the next - pulse unlock.

Any ideas.

Thanks

is this just to show you when the doors are locked??

if so you can use a 12 volt LED....you will need some relays.....i will see if i have a diagram...

Uh, just use the latched relay setup in the diagram section of this forum. You will kill your battery pretty quick due to the energized batteries in combination with your amperage pull of the LED. Cheers.

The led is to remain on only when the van is on the move,surely this wont kill the battery?

The led only shows when the cargo doors are locked by a switch on the dash,the alarm takes over to lock automaticaly

when the vehicle is not used.Cheers
