Tony Dobnik Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi all, I have been having an on going issue where variable lift on my Ez30 won't work which puts a major damper on power.  I have swapped it to another output driver but still have the issue.  Was wondering if there is too much load/current to run both lift solenoids on one driver causing the issue.  Contemplating using a ignition coil type transistor  between the link ecu and solenoids but would like your input prior to going to the trouble.  Cheers,Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Dobnik Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I should add that it works at first then stops working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 You have 2 amps available on a AUX out. If the solenoids are pulling more than this you will need to use a relay to switch them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Dobnik Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for the help, will see how I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Dobnik Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Checked current draw, 3.5 amps on circuit to trigger both these solenoids combined. Fitted a relay between ECU and solenoids, issue fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I always use relays on my Aux O/P even if driving LED'S I use a mini relay. Regards Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
