Switch help

I am having a bit of a problem here, I bought a switch for my angel eyes, the ASC switch that Raliart and Evos have



I plan on using it to turn my angel eyes on and off, but have a slight problem. I was playing around with the switch and a continuity tester and realized the switch isnt a toggle switch, it only connects the circuit when the button is pressed, so basically if I wanted to use it for my angel eyes Id have to hold it down anytime I wanted them on, which obviously is no good.

Is there some sort of thing I can wire up that will toggle on off every time I press the button, or am I S*** out of luck

Get a new switch, that is a toggle switch and wire the ASC for your garage door opener .

You would have to do a relay circuit or something. The fact that you have momentary when you need latching is what you have to compensate for. The easiest is what is described above.

Just did a quick google search. I found an omron latching relay. Omron relays are actually constructed very robust. The simple bosch relay style found in most cars is different inside of an omron compared to most other manufacturers out there.

http://www.drillspot.com/products/15...Latching_Relay This describes a latching relay. Press button latches on, push button latches off. At least that is the typical operation.

Just be sure that operates as stated. If not, I am sure there are other sources. Just be sure to do some research on the relay.

Hopefully we can save you from having to start over!

Or you could just chop out the inside remove the PCA and install a toggle switch inside utilizing the existing springs and such. That is exactly what I did. worked like a charm and looked OEM.
