Hi all,
I need a bit of help with this one,
I'm trying to make a Ford ignition/start stop button work in an older car.
Its an momentary earth switch, quick push on, long push start, quick push off.
So the operation is,
Single (quick) push activates ignition live via earth output to a relay
Long push keeps the first earth output active whilst engaging another earth output for the duration of the push to earth the starter relay
Single (quick) push de-activates the first earth output to turn the ignition off.
As its for a car it has to be 12v but it could range anywhere from 9v to 18v so some were in there would be the ideal operating voltage.
Now I know that making a simple latching relay will make the single push on or off part of this work but I was really after making it work almost as if it would in factory designed form.
I'm going to assume that I will need some form of IC to control the outputs and that is where I get stuck.
So my question's are,
Is there something already made that would work for me?
Is there anyone that could custom make me what I need?
Many thanks
