Hey
Iam new to the fourm and electronics in general so bare with me if i dont pick up quickly or understand anything.
With that said I am looking for laymens help with an idea I had:
I have a electronic/hydraulic hood system on my car, To put the hood down you open the front push and hold a button in for 20 or so seconds till the hoods in its bin and tucked away same for it to come up hold it in for 20 or so seconds and then clip it in when its done.
I was thinking the other night if it would be possible to make a timed relay circuit that would open apon me pushing the button and it stay open (even if the down/up button is pushed) for 25 seconds (extra few seconds for insurance) and then close, making it a 1 touch push button operation rather than having to hold the button till the hood is down.
I dont have much electronic knowledge so if you have the answer/circuit diagram could you explain as simply as possable please all help will be greatly appreciated.
