Hi there, I am new to this sight and am I ever glad I found it.
Here is my project. I have a motorcycle that used to have some switches that I replaced with momentary switches. Understand that these new switches came as part of new hand controls for my bike.
Here are three problems.
1) I want my signal lights to stay on when I push the button. Is it a relay I need to install?, or is it a latching switch/relay? The momentary switch would have to trigger something so it stays on. If it is a relay I need, can I use 1 relay for both signals seeing as they do not turn on together?
2) High beam also only stays on while depressed. Should have lobeam all the time and then push the switch for high beam. I guess same problem as above.
3) Engine kill switch and starter button. Kill switch had an on/off position and the starter button only activates when kill switch is in the on position. Can I wire these so that if I push 1 button, it will both turn the kill switch on and trigger the starter button? That way I can use the last momentary switch as the kill button.
Right now I have the kill switch on one button and the starter button as another. I have to depress both buttons to start and I am left w/ no kill switch.
Please help
