I bought a pair of standard seats for Ami's ZR-1 to go in place of the (too narrow for her) 91 sport seats. To adapt the seat back position motors of the standard seats to the sport seat harness required a bit of electrical fabrication involving a double pole, double throw, momentary ON switch was required.
It took a minute of doodling on a scratch pad and was a fun little challenge, if you enjoy that kind of thing as I do. Anybody wanna try it?
Given:
Two switches ganged together, each having a (C) common wiper pole, and each (C) wiper pole is flanked by two contact poles (A & B) for a total of 6 ( 3 +3) poles in all.
Problem: Wire the two switches so that toggling the switch(s) will result in alternating the polarity across the DC motor, depending on which way the switch is toggled.:)
For clarity:
lets call the terminals of switch 1 = A, C1, and B
lets call the terminals of switch 2 = X, C2, and Y.
So, my project for today will be installing the seats in her Z. Mounting the switch and wiring them into the existing harness will be the more difficult part of the puzzle, I recon.
