Hi guys,
I installed a button to activate the Trans performance tables but at times when I was tuning I dint know when they were activated. So I came up with a Logic circuit to install an LED indicator light.
It’s basically a Latching relay and a two pole relay.

I had some old relays from an Outboard trim wiring so I made up my latching relay and for the four pole relay I got from an old Sea Ray dash panel.

This is very easy for anyone to make so if you are at all interested post up and I will take the time to draw up a wiring diagram.

I had the relays at the shop but anyone can pick these up at an electronic store.

Jorge

Can you post up your schematic? There is some discussion on this topic here as well:

Ok guys got the wiring diagram done. Now bear in mind that I am NOT an Electrical engineer so if you come up with a better circuit post up.

Parts for the latching relay circuit
4 SPDT Relays
1 4 POLE Relay
2 3amp Diodes

I forgot to ad a fuse to the diagram just ad one to protect your circuit. 3amp in series with your 12volts in.
Also as long your 12volts in is switched with ignition the light will always be in zinc with the Performance tables.
With the four pole relay I have two poles left over to ad valet or FI to the circuit.

For some reference check out this site http://www.the12volt.com/diodes/diodes.asp
