I have not installed this yet.
Let me know if I have any of the contacts wrong or other feedback.
I'll go ahead and post it because I see some people are asking about relays.
(Don't exist apparently)
It uses the same Bosch relays that "we" use for the headlight power supply mod to eliminate the amp meter feed.
(I'm doing that as well)
I THINK I may have found a cost effective limit switch that will work from a major manufacture.
I'll post back if I find that limit switch will work.
It should.
Here's the explanation and what you will need.
I have added dedicated left and right open and close relays.
They are N/O relays.
The control relay is N/C.
This way the first motor that completes the open/close function will not continue to have power supplied to it by a single relay as it did before. As it came from the factory the open and close relays had to drive both motors till both limit switches were open.
With the Bosch relays there are both NC and NO contacts. Now when one of the open relays drops out because the upper limit switch opens, that unused motor drive power can be used to work two other relays I’ve added for the indicator light. (No extra power required for these two relays.)
When the headlights are turned on power goes to the green light and then to ground via 30/87 on the indicator control relays.
The green light stays on till both motor relays drop out.
When power is supplied to both light control relays by the de-energized open control relays, the ground(s) are taken off of the indicator light via contacts 30 to 87 on the light control relays.
I have moved the override from the ground side of the closing relay(s) to the power side.
This has the same function and will prevent the closing relay(s) from picking.
