Hi all, I have just finished building a new truck body for a customer and it has hydraulics fitted to it that are controlled by a remote control. The remote control has 8 functions. Function 1 & 2 control 1 hydraulic cylinder in each direction and so does function 3 & 4 and 5 & 6. All of the functions are a momentary function. Now function 7 & 8 are also momentary but the customer has asked me if I can use function 7 to turn the work lights on, then turn them off again with the same button. The same goes for function 8 except for that it will turn on and off the traffic warning lights. Now keeping in mind that this truck is a 24volt system and the remote is also a 24volt system, what kind of help can anyone give on relays for this operation. I am very limited with room because all of this is to be mounted under the passenger side seat and I think a lot of relays and diodes are out of the question. The remote is also positive trigger not negative as in most cases.
Thanks in advance.
how about low profile Solid State relays. Check out this link...

Thanks for the Info. I will look into that.
You need a Toggle Latching Relay.
Potter & Brumfield #S89R5ABC1 . . . Contacts 15 Amps 125/250 VAC resistive load. For each input pulse to coil, a latching toggle mechanism flips the position of a microswitch's wiper arm to low, high etc. Coil 120 VAC, 220 ohms, 75 mA. 0.187 quick connect terminals. Size 2.7 x 1.73 x 2". UL Listed, CSA Certified. New.

When in doubt, try it out !
Thanks for the help John, I will definately look into that .
It looks like it may fit under the seat as there will be 2 of them needed to do both sets of lights.
