Its OK to use this earth, the anomaly you mentioned in your PM is normal

ive now put in a switch on the side of the door card. its connected to the earth so kills the circuit. hgt did explain another way but it involved having the relay working when the car is not running. i didnt like this due the relay working all the time and the current draw from the circuit. i now have the option to stop the mirrors folding when the car is locked . this also overides the original mirror button, but is placed so i can access it and still use the original button if i need to.

here is the switch (from maplin)

Hi, just a question. Can we use this mod to close the windows?

gray52 · 6th June 2008, 21:42

i surpose you could but when you unlock your car it would roll down the windows also, so i guess not, but i could be wrong.

Yes, it could be right. But if we disable the "option" to open the mirrors?
Thanks

contapapo · 10th June 2008, 13:25

No ideas. A new civic coming in and would like to make it working.

hgt · 10th June 2008, 14:09

I did some research on doing this, IE the windows would auto close about 30 seconds after the car had been locked, with an override in case passengers were left in the car.
But to be honest the circuitry to do it It was so complicated that I decided it was a no go for this forum.
I would have done it on my car but the amount of wires to be cut and rerouted would certainly have voided any warranty, and with the amount of work involved I decided to abandon the project
But it can be done.

Will talk to the autor to translate it if he wants to.

richy_ctr · 9th July 2008, 18:47

Got a mate who's an electrician to build the circuit up for me, fitted it today and works great, had to extend a few cables coz the 300mm quoted in the guide weren't long enough to where I mounted the box.

Gonna wind up a few non civinfo members with this mod saying you have to press the lock button 10 times for it to work and watch them press away!!!!!

hgt · 9th July 2008, 19:59

Good for you mate, I think this makes 8 or 9 of you who have done this mod I have lost count, but its great to hear when someone else makse a success of it, well done and enjoy.

richy_ctr · 10th July 2008, 12:32

couldn't have done it without your drawings so cheers!!
