Hi all, looking for a little help here. I have the attached motor mechanism which is not working correctly. There are 2 input wires. Brown is earth, red is constant 12v and yellow is 12v switched. When connected the slider is meant to move to the right and stop when it hits the limit switch. When 12v is applied to the yellow it is meant to move all the way to the left and stop when it hits the limit switch. There are a series of relays in this setup which I think are over kill. This is not currently happening. Unless I give 12v to the earth, and earth the red and yellow. It will then operate correctly. Oh I should have said this is a mechanism in a vintage car.
