Using SSR as a car flasher for LED side markers
I need help with my circuit design.
I want to convert my cars single function LED side markers which are OFF in daylight and ON at night, to blink when the turn signal flashes. That means in the daylight they are blinking ON; at night they are blinking OFF.
The enclosed diagram represents the limits of my electric circuit design ability. I believe what I have is logically correct but I do not know how to proceed.
I am good with a soldering iron and understand how to attach components to each other but not much more. I do not have any test equipment.
Here is a list of my outstanding issues.
1-What SSR part number should I use?
2-Does the SSR have a ground or is the diagram correct?
3-Is the [SCR] designation correct for the SSR?
4-This SSR will get hot because of a high usage rate. It is activated when the turn signal or hazard flashers are active.
Do I need a heat sink on the SSR because of its flasher function?
5-How big a heat sink what does it look like?
6-How does the heat sink attach to the SSR?
7-What are the designations for the SCR terminals and which is which?
8-When I look at the SSR, will I be able to identify the terminals?
9-Will I need any protective circuits?
10-Each of the front and rear LED side markers draws 35mA: 8-14VDC.
11-Does the IGN line into relay terminal 30 need reduction circuit?
12-If so, besides the parts identification I will also need a description of which terminal identifier and how to find it goes where?
13-What gauge of wires and what size circuit board and case will I need?
14-These two units, for left and right blinkers will be located in a trunk but still require some protection.
15-What kind of case can I use and what about heat?
I believe I can do this with detailed instructions.
Need your considerate assistance.
