Greetings everyone... having hung about randomly for a couple of days now, I still can't find a definitive answer so I'm gonna ask the question that has now got me completely dumbfounded.
Scope - to operate fog light relays on a car using a rotary switch.
Now in itself the concept is fairly simple.
**broken link removed**
The fog light switch is on the top left stalk. This is a two section switch, the normal headlights are on the outside end of the stalk, then another rotary section further in for the foglights.
To switch the lights on, you rotate upwards once for rear light, then again for front. To switch off, is rotate down in the same increments.
Turning the main lights also resets the fog lights to the off mode.
So now I'm completely flumoxed! The rotational switching applies a contact to turn the lights on in turn using hte same contact, and a seperate contact is created to do the reverse.
I've tried thinking through ALL sorts to achieve this, and ordinarily I'm quite good with relays, etc... but it's a long time since I've done anything with logic stuff and I think I'm just getting myself confused.
Power source is 12 volts. Fog lights are already operated by relays. And before the question is asked, this is going into a VW not a Peugeot, and it's to rid myself of switches on my custom dash board.
Help?
