Believe me, it makes my head hurt, too.

I think the one I was looking at was like 0.06 ohms. I guess not much, but the complexity of trying to get the gate voltage right and figure out to use them to duplicate the relays where it isn’t just on or off made the relays look so much more attractive when I saw they added voltage drop...

Interesting, I wondered how the relays worked. Where did you come up with that info? Makes me glad to be working towards the using the TIPM.

This has been fun, in a sort of painful way. Trying to learn and figure out how to do this best. Spent some time looking at transistors and MOSFET's. I like the depreciated MOSFET's for the "off" circuit but the sketching software I am using (LibrePCB) doesn't give an option. Then I noticed...

It might have been! Can’t say for sure now, I’ve slept since then, but Cardomain does seem familiar.

This is a '68-72 V8 k-frame. 1968-1972 Mopar A Body V8 K Frame Member Engine Cradle Front Suspension Bay | eBay $1000???? The world has gone insane.

That one is an odd duck! Doesn't look to me like the biscuit mounts were added (not arguing, just a comment) but the bottom is certainly a '73+. Weird. Seems like $400 is steep either way. But I haven't been looking for one in awhile so maybe they have gone way up? Makes me think the '73 /6...

Could be your switch is better than others. Who knows. Not saying it happens for every situation. Here is a clip from Hotwires instructions: Just trying to make people aware so that if it is a problem, they have ideas where to look. Either way, I prefer to avoid potential problems, so if...

The issue with the stock switch is that the blue and brown ignition wires are powered at different times. Some people wire these 2 together so the PCM sees a constant key-on power and get away with it. But there is a moment between on and start where neither wire has power and it can cause the...

I know this is kind of bringing this back from the dead, but thought maybe it would help at least someone to answer the question. The reason connecting the blue and brown wires together can be a problem is because within the switch there is a break between the 2 contacts, so when the switch is...

I can't find anything definitive. I think I was reversing things in my mind and thinking about a later motor with an NGC rather than an earlier motor with a GPEC2. I did ask Chris at Hotwire Auto about the later motor and NGC setup (my motor is a 2017, PCM is a 2010 Ram) and he said as long as...

That was fast! So TKX or T56?

Oh, and I did confirm that the 3 contacts appear to be separate circuits, it's not something where each is adding to the last or something.

I've given up on why my numbers are off. Instead I think I am going to wire into the circuit board and use some relays, unless someone has a better idea. Here is the backside of the board with the passthrough rivets marked: Here is the front: My idea is to bypass the switch (grease...

In this case, it was the arm coming loose. turn signal switch/arm question issue identified and solved
