You should print the auto roll up stuff off the internet, walk into motorland, slap it on the counter and say "what do you think of that then" after you put it away show them the print out and call them morons N

I never go into motor world because the prices are way too much, which is already an insult, but i just happened to be outside and i thought yes, no, yes, no go on then.....
I go in and meet the 3 stooges
Motorworld? Fu*king muppetworld too much?

Found a problem, went to Sainsbury for ham hock sandwich, single locked the van which i never do, came out and unlocked it and the mirrors closed, had to press unlock again which ordinarily wouldn't bother me but in the name of professionalism i think this simply isn't good enough

Think I'm going to need a flip flop or something

Leave it the way it is Loot If the scumbags rob it they wont be able to see the Feds on their tail

Hmm that's actually a good idea lol
I always double lock tho so it's all how i want it more or less, at least it is reliable and consistent i guess

I've done it, or I've made a bomb

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
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)

now then, now then
so...i require a relay that someone has been inside
a 4700uf cap
and 2x 5w 0.3 ohm weird looking resistors
the resistors go either side of the cap and on to the coil of the relay
and both of those connect to lock actuator pin 3
thats bonkers did i read that correctly hows that work
and the relay switched output thing goes to mirror switch 4 and 8

is that right ? i am just a simple dogs arse washer and dont understand hard things you see

You need the capacitor it builds up power and discharges it, it is only 16v so it is very gentle, not like those 1.21gigawatt ones you used to bridge to blow them up 4 a laff

I fitted the 2 ceramic resistors but you don't need them, you can't use a resistor but on the Ford mini relay there is a resistor which will station the capacitor to 0v but it will do that through the relay coil anyway.

The capacitor world both directions so it is able to recharge both ways, i thought it was like a diode and reversing the power wouldn't work, it does and it warms up (the system is never active long enough to warm it up tho, in fact it isn't on long enough to give the cap full charge and that means it doesn't hold as long as it did on the bench, but it does latch long enough to overcome the wake up for unlocking)


Anyway if you want to copy my setup that's fine.


So you need about 18 inches of cable, i had a length already of 2 core 1.5mm/1.0mm whatever the kids these days use
Relay, standard 1 but i used the Ford mini type.
4700uf 16v capacitor, found mine in a car radio along with the ceramic ballast resistors.
1 or 2 ballast resistors just because i had them and felt they might add some sense of added safety to it 5watt 0.3ohm (no reason for that except they were in with the capacitor so I'll trust Visteon maths ppl.

Door actuator connector unplugs nicely and you can cut wire pin3 15mm from the connector then strip the 2 part wires and join them to each wire you have for the relay coil that has the cap etc on it. It is bidirectional and a solid wire when cut becomes positive and negative (provided you have a load fitted otherwise it becomes a dead short ie removing a light bulb and linking both terminals. In this case there is already a load (door actuator) so connect there.
Male side shown.


Then the other 2 wires connected to the mirror switch pin 4 and 8.


I used heat shrink etc to clean up and gaffer tape on the actuator the same as for did

Have you done it yet?

[Altransit]

Have you done it yet?

He's in poundland trying to buy the components

[bigjohnthomas]

yeah I am going to need some bits
This may take some time

[loot]

Take that faulty vacuum apart there'll be some in there i bet

[bigjohnthomas]

that cost nearly 600 shelkels that I have to mend it

Well I have tried lidil and b and m neither of them have a capacitor

[loot]

Old video recorder or car stereo

[bigjohnthomas]

Nought like that at gay skull, but that cap is 49 new pence at maplin and wire wound resistors 19 p each
I like the look of those reed relays fancy little shiny glass things but only switch 1 amp That should do though wouldn't it boss ? Little pulse n all that

[loot]

Should be OK

Is it done yet? We can start a auto folding mirrors franchise and branch into auto roll up electric windows (except the guy at motorworld needs convincing that they exist and aren't some kind of voodoo)

Incidentally mine got delivered today

Or did it?



Trigger is 500ma negative wtf i thought negative was 0ve and positive was ma ah well I'll leave that to the Chinese they're much more cleverer than us simple engineers
