Wanna' thank everyone for the help.
Now all I gotta do is put this together and make it purty. It really is a nice car and I hate like sin to sell it. But, I can't afford two cars at this time in my life and the Cougar is only my second favorite car! THANKS AGAIN! Brian (Cornelius Rambler) |

OK... Wired everything as diagrammed on my desk. Without installing, how should I test the system? I DID combine the two grounds (Post 4 & 7) with the lead to be tapped into the dimmer switch (Post 8) using the ground from my charger. I attached the positive lead (Post 3) to my 30 amp breaker and out to the positive on my charger. Lastly, I touched the leads to the actuator (Post 1 & 2) to the actuator wires themselves and activated the piston. Switching the leads around caused the piston to move in the opposite direction. Is there a way to simulate the switching from one direction to the other through the relay without actually tapping the #8 lead to the dimmer switch? Thanks in advance...AGAIN! Brian

if wired like I showed, all you do is provide 12v to pin 8 and it will operate motors, then when you remove power it will reverse.
4 and 7 are grounds not to be combined with 8 which is switched 12v

I would guess you see that 3 is constant 12v and is also linked to 6 so 3 and 6 are same 12v constant, also 4 and 5 are linked and are ground

Oops, I screwed up the diagram, move motor leads to 5 and 6 and link 1 and 4 together and 2 and 3 together and it should work. lol
