    2 Relays for High Beam and Flasher?

    I recently installed new headlights units on my 2004 BMW Z4. The issue is the car had xenon for high/low beam then a separate bulb for flashing brights. Because of this the new high beams, separate from low beam. Only work when flashing and not for running high beams. Would it be a viable option...

    Relays coils

    Bit of a random question but I’ve got a practice reason for asking. I know with a lot of control circuit timers and relays they state on them what there contacts can carry for example 2amp inductive 5amp resistive. My question is if we are pulling in a relay through these contacts is it possible...

    Relays to control lighting in a domestic house.

    Hi all I'll freely admit, I'm out of my depth here. I've been asked to sort some lighting in a bathroom do do the following: Main lights and some accent lights from one switch. Mirror lights and the same set of accent lights from another. I guess it can be done using 230v relays, but haven't a...

    Impulse relays

    Hi. I have a problem with these relays. They are controlling the lightning in my house. Light are always on and switches are not working. Lights can be turned off only from main fuse. Lights have 24v transformer. Is there some kind of trasformer or fuse controlling the relays witch can be broken?

    I have 2:30 amp relays running the door poppers for my shaved door handles. They only seem to work properly when the Vehicle is running. Is this an alternator a battery relay or perhaps a wiring problem?

    Changing original 32Amp contactors for solid state relays?

    Hi Guys, My underfloor heating has 3 x 32amp contactors. They make a hell of a thump when opening and closing. Bit of a hum also. I'm looking at the idea of changing them for solid state relays like this one Solid State Relay - 40A (3-32V DC Input) - COM-13015 - SparkFun Electronics -...
