Hello all you geniuses out there! My knowledge is minimal when it comes to electronics. I have wired a few relays here and there mostly car audio stuff. But I am trying to build a relay and am having no luck. I have searched and tried a few diagrams found on this forum, none of which have worked. I have no idea what the circuit would even be called to search for it. I will explain what I want it to do and hopefully someone can explain to me (needs to be very dumbed down) how to create / buy it.
So I have an inverter I want to install in my vehicle. It has a momentary push on push off button on the front to turn it on or off with one press. You kind of have to hold it down for a second or two for it to turn on, but to turn it off you just press it once. It also has the CAT phone wire to turn it on remotely.
I want it to turn on with the 12v accessory wire and turn off with a delay of like 60 seconds. Is this possible? I have tried the attached diagram on the remote switch (soldering to pins in switch) and I can get it to just turn the power light on and off. It doesn’t actually trigger the switch. I know now it cannot be done this way but I then put a delay off relay on the 12v accessory wire for the delay and it doesn’t even light up anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
