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..




Thank you for you replay, I am posting here so the information can be available to any member finds it useful.

You are right; I was stuck that pin 30 had ground, but when you trigger the relay they change and positive is what I wanted. Two negatives won’t harm the led.

And one final question for the lift mechanism. I had with the previous setup when the screen goes down a switch that was cutting the power from the motor when at the bottom position. Can I do the same with this setup? Cutting one cable with a switch it will not leave a circuit to go up.

For the sort I was referring to the cables going to the motor (30 connector), having both positive doesn’t this create a short to the motor?

I had an issue with the monitor going down 2-3mm when hitting on bumps. I decided to use magnets to help release some tense from this low torque CD ROM motors.
After few tries found the correct position and they tuned out working very well. Those little magnets that I find inside an old CD ROM are very strong.




Put a spring to speed down when going down and help when going up.
Also the switch at the left (red button) to cut of the power to motor when bottomed out.

No buttons pushed the motor sees ground , the relay rests on pin 87a
Btw are you not using limit switches to shut off when reaching fully open and fully closed?
And what limit switches 2 wire or 3 wire? If 3 wire , when 1 post is disconnected it connects to the other post pin 30 to 87 and 87a, If it has only 2 post you make a jumper bypassing the switch and use a diode per switch to limit current flow.

I have a limit switch only at fully closed. To fine tune when full open is very difficult that’s one reason why I have the 3 sec circuit.
I was thinking to cut the positive direct from the relay, I haven’t looked at the schematics yet, have to see if it will work but I am very positive it will. I will post the final setup when ready.

Thank you again for your time

EDIT to add that I am using 2 wire limit switch.

AND after studding your diagram I just need to put a Diode to the limit switch. This will solve the problem (last night I answer in a hurry without analyzing to understand your diagram…)

The ash tray door was opening on corners so I put a small magnet to keep it in place. The magnet and the metal tab on the door they don’t touch each other; there is a gap about 1mm. Also put a LED and a small switch.

This is such an awesome dash, I would love to have one like that with a carbon fiber wrapped center and red illumination. You didn't make a mold by any chance did you?

Reverse left up??

Looking good! Nice with that light wood.

I have a mold but I don’t think it will work with carbon fiber well. It requires some work after releasing the part. In the future I had in mind to make a carbon fiber center console, but it won’t be soon. Still want to make the doors and finish the interior upholstery…
Maybe if I make a proper mold I will make few more… but not in my plans.

great build! This was one of the builds I came across that inspired me to do a waterfall console in my car. Although I used the stock dash. Mine didnt come out quite as nice but I am real happy with having a tablet in the car now (well at least when I get it working again!)
