I will probably not understand the answer, but here goes.
I am wiring a LED light to my motorcycle to alert me when my radar detector goes off. Using the headphone output to trigger a solid state relay (Magnecraft 70S2-04-B-03-V) to control the LED.
I am getting the 12V from a relay wired direct to the battery.
When I put it all together on the bench and tested it using my car batery charger as a power source it worked perfect. The LED flashed in sync with the sounds the radar dectector would make if the earphone jack was not being used.
When I wired it to the bike and activated the radar dectector the LED came on and stayed on as if the relay was not resetting.
Any ideas for an electronics idiot?
Thanks
