Ok, so I need some wiring help. I have an electric motor that is a standard red and black 2 wire motor. I have a switch that will make the motor run forward or reverse with 3 wires, one green, blue and black. The green closes the circuit with the black one way and the blue the other way.

Now, I need to build a control unit using relays (I think 2 should do it) to make this motor and switch work. Its been a while and I'm having a hard time, any help?

Wires at bottom that are labeled To Window Motor, connect to your motor. You need to ground the black wire of your switch. Connect the other 2 wires of the switch to the 2 wires labeled To 3 wire switch.

Thank you. I was looking for that diagram as I know its pretty much the same as a window motor but couldn't find it.

Or change to a DAV 5 terminal window lift switch from Spal etc. Cheaper than a pair of relays.
