Clive Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Got off my arse and did a bit of cleaning (dust) on the scoot, off to Halfrauds in a bit, get a relay to bodge onto the seat opening mechanism, been threatening to do it for months....hope a car relay fits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased a relay, it is bigger than the one fitted, and the connector is different, which I expected it would be, going to need a bit of bodging to make it work, should be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Going to give the relay one more try, how many permutations of the 4 wires can there be ? i got a packet of 10 fuses from Halfrauds. hope it's enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not got such a thing, I used my power testing lead, but I get 2 cables with 12v, as soon as connect one of the other (non power) leads the fuse blows, connect the other lead, fuse blows. Getting to the emergency seat release cable is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is on the replacement one i bought, the factory fitted one is smaller, and the connector block is different, and it has no numbers on the plastic body to indicate which connector does what.

If you have four leads then two will be twelve volts, one will be an earth and the the last is the switched feed, one of the twelve volt cables should be switched so not always live unless there is a switched earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the factory fitted one there is no identification numbers, or anything saying what rating it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the wire colours to the solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm presuming the button you press to unlock the seat grounds the coil of the relay not power it up that's why there are two wires with 12v on them i think 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
