First off I just want to say hey. I've taken circuit classes in college but never really applied the knowledge to real life stuff so I'm slowly making my way around.
My problem is this... my car has side mirrors that fold in and out but they are currently not hooked up to do so. They both have a (+) and (-) 12v wire and fold in or out dependent on which way the current flows. The trick is I want them to fold out when the car turns on and fold in when the car is turned off. I already have a relay to use which directs current one way when on and another way when off. This would work by itself if I didn't care about the motor being burnt up so i need SOMETHING that trips it when the mirrors are all the way out or all the way in and won't let them move until the reverse action is triggered... all of this with the turn of the key. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
