Lucky i had the pram rails to hold.
Bit annoyed because the rear rubber bung has had a sharp blade around it to install the vinyl and there is brown there which I'm going to lacquer over once i clean it.

Found some turtle wax compound in the garage new in the tub, might have a little look see :D

My invertor is only 1000w so no abuse it cuts off :(

At least you only had the roof I got the whole thing, and it's not responding very well to the heat , still breaks off in tiny little pieces. Image

Try it a little hotter, not too hot tho.

Careful with this because the circuit swaps continuity :idea:
My relay is a dummy and can be actuated 1 polarity or the other and it is a single circuit.

I've looked and i think i just need a small capacitor 47k which will store power and hold the relay open for a second which will make it work and then to for 1 maybe 2 diodes to protect the capacitor from reverse voltage on double lock.

Hang fire I'll have a look today

Doesn't work if i add a diode or resistor for protection although i was using a 20v dyson battery to test.
No diode or resistor and it works, ironically it works in both polarity :shock:
It stayed cold the correct polarity but got hot in reverse, that said i had to keep actuating it with 20v for it to get hot, it states 105c (probably safe limit)

It works on the van, there's less voltage than the battery but it still works, one unlock opens the mirrors and double lock closes the mirrors.

I have to install it into the van now and try it out for a bit.

All back together, system is dead when no buttons pressed, lock sends a 0.5s positive pulse to activate door locking actuator, and again for lock and again for deadlock, there's 2 motors, 1 moves forward for lock, 2 move forward for double lock then both reverse for unlock.

Finished, works fine, unlocked the boot and the mirrors opened then i pressed front unlock and they started open 8)

Not much to it really bjt :D

I'll do more testing in everyday life but i think it is all good.

Have put the door card back on but am waiting for the electric window automatic roll up module to arrive, even tho motorworld man said there's no such thing and i need to go home and Google it and do my homework :lol:
What a bell end :roll:
