Everyone is making this much too complicated.
instead of using that 5 pin relay, to trigger the Purge relay, why not just have three separate relays?
From the diagram, he's not gonna have Purge when the the Arm switch is ON, right?
On the above diagram, just take that wire on relay 1, pin87a, and take it straight to the Momentary Purge switch.
Get rid of Relay 1, and take the relay connected to the N and F to ARM.
Gets rid of one relay and it'll allow independent control of the Purge and Main system.
Just a thought.
87a is used for a system that needs power or power interrupted all the time, then switched to 87 to power another another system.
Not really used to power another relay, kind of redundant.
again, just my opinion.
It all depends on what you need the relay network to do. This way the actual momentary button is not going to be overloaded, The relays do all the work. As long as 87a is connected to pin 30 it acts just like if the relay was energized and 30 was connected to 87. Some relays have dual current rating for both pin 87 and 87a.
:sigh:
F*CK THIS! Got everything all put together, forgot about all this purge bs. Pulled the plug on the relay just to check everything, put my m,ultimeter on, hit the arm switch and it triggers the noids. WTF? Hit my shifter button, cuts the power. F'ing Hurst built a switch, press for off let go for on. F'ing retarded. Busted out the credit card ordered a window switch with and TPS activation.
Relay networks FTW!
hook a horn to the 'noid' relay while testing....make sure it only honks when its supposed to. What I did. Good safety measure.
I just unplug it and plug my multimeter in and prop it up on the windshield..
