Building a sport luxury interior + other mods (Page 22/26)

It is a three stages switch (up - neutral - down). It is connected with a 3 sec timer, which activates pressing the up down buttons. It has to be up to go up, when it’s up and press the down button it doesn’t do anything.
I would love this to be fully automated; maybe someone who knows electronic circuits can help me with this. Any ideas are welcome.

wire like this and use timer to send 3 sec neg signal one wire is up one wire would be down, then you should be able to eliminate the switches in the ash trey.

Thank you jb1,

I will try it this weekend. Please verify that the pic below have the correct setup.
Have both signals (for the up-down) to be negative?



If you know an alternative for the 3 sec timer please post the information. My timer is a little bit bulky because is for heavy duty applications (has a relay on it).

Thanks again!

yes both up and down would be neg. you will have to add a timer on both neg inputs

Really nice! It's fun to imagine what Fieros would look like now if they'd continued building them, and you are making it a reality!

Instead of the typical relays you could use 2 DEI 528t timed relays , they have built in timer and carry 15 amp loads , so they would be fine for what you need... they run around $12 ea online..

Did it and worked fine. I don’t know if it’s possible to illuminate the buttons when you press them down. You can see at my video above how they worked before.
I know I can’t reverse the circuit because I will have a sort (having both “30” positive current).
Can this be done? I liked it when were they illuminated.

Thank you.

I made a new battery tray; the new design leaves more space for the tire.
Epoxy primer painted and two coats of wax before fiberglassing.



Three layers of glass (350 grams per square meter I think); around 1,5 mm total thickness (it’s pretty solid).

You want the buttons to light up only when pressed? you would make a jumper from pin 30 to the + pin on the led in the button, then ground the other side of the led. then which ever relay you trigger would send 12v to actuator and to button light for 3 sec. Not real sure what you mean by you would have a short... but then again I am not sure how your buttons light up but should be pretty simple to make them light up when button is pushed....
If the fact that you using a reversal rest at ground , you can make it a reversal rest at + , depending on what your switches need , or just change pins 85 and 86 in middle of diagram to - and use a + pulse to activate. Any questions feel free to pm me..
