Shaved doors (electrical help)

[Jacked Hemi]

I'm shaving my door handles and wanted something different to actuate the solenoids. I don't like key fobs or alarms, so I wanted to try a "Magnetic Entry". A magnetic switch mounted inside the glass (or somewhere not hidden by metal) will be triggered by a little magnet on my key chain held to the glass where the switch is.

My problem is i'm not amazing with electrical work, I could figure it out eventually, but I don't want to ruin any switches while figuring it out. Could someone draw me up a quick diagram or explain to me how to wire up a 10 watt normally open switch with relays to send power to a 50lb solenoid without burning the switch up? ..Or tell me how dumb I am and a different way of going about this? :moron:

Are those normally open switches? Your going to need relays also.

if you dont have an answer in the a.m. i will draw one up in cad at work

You couldn't get your fuel pump to shut off what the hell are you going to draw a 15 second time slip:D

Settle down children! ..lets be civil.. :finger2:

The way i'm reading that schematic, the switch is grounded and useless? haha. I'll draw something up that I can understand and ya'll can alter it if needed.

you are wrong i couldnt draw less than a 13.7 time slip the fuel pump(s) shut off with the flick of a switch:finger2:

Not sure how much this will help, my mom has a magnet installed in her passenger side headlight that lowers her wheel chair ramp ion her van.

You can't even see the magnet and the key/magnet is about the size of a 9v battery

That's where my idea came from, just trying to figure out how to wire it. Should be fairly simple in theory..

If your talking about my quick scetch you need to read it again.
The best place to mount the switch is in side mirror so your not trying to rub a magnet on the paint . I have also had magnets sewn into small soft leather pouches to help eliminate any scratches also. My Drawing is correct for a door actuator.

My Drawing is correct for a door actuator.

I didn't say it wasn't correct, I just couldn't figure it out. :confused: I'm not good with directions, more of a hands on person, haha

The switch will have to be a normally open switch and you will only need one relay . The relay will be a negative trigger which will in turn send 12+. volts to the actuator . Also get fuse links for the battery connection:) I modified your drawing for you :devil:

I modified your drawing for you :devil:

That drawing was a thing of beauty! :eek: Now to find the correct relay and switch.

I looked up a 40lb shaved kit so I believe you interposing relay scheme is necessary to keep from frying you mag switch. A .5a dc relay with 5a rated n.o. contact to bring the relay for the door solenoids. Looks like you will have to abandon the key fob trigger and do a work with you meter to check contact wiring versus coil wiring. You should be able to use the same contact on the .5a relay for both solenoid relays since it is momentary.
The drawing only shows one side so just add the second solenoid relay to the open side of the .5a relay n.o. contact and run in parallel through the solenoid to ground.
