Do I need a relay?
ColinM - 30/6/11 at 07:56 AM

Bought a pair of Sierra electric window motors from Macspeedy (thanks mate) to fit to my Sabre and some switches from Europa at Detling show.

On to fitting them, do I need to fit a relay in the circuit or just straight wiring switch to motor etc?

Anyone got a diagram that would help please?

electric window motors can draw 30Amps, and as such relays would be a good idea.

the motors may have a limit stop, or an over current stop mechanism, in the latter case they will pull the stall current at each end of travel before switching off.
