The little box is a circuit breaker. It simply opens up if circuit amperage is too high. I think it's rated at 5 amps...might be 10. How does it know when the doors are open or shut? |

the breaker is just a protection JUST IN CASE the points ( for open or close ) on gear system inside the motor don't get cut the power once reachs the final travel

That makes sense and the 5 amp breaker is the safe in case it does not stop up or down. As soon as I get the springs I will make a mock up and give it a shot. Does the relay/breaker have to grounded in order to make the mock up? |

on original relay, the breaker doesn't look to be grounded, just the tab to link relay and breaker.
I have seen power windows breakers mounts on fuse box side provisions, so I'd say doesn't need to be grounded
relay must be grounded, and it is , by chassis. In fact, using Bosch 5 pins setup, you need to wire to ground one of the prongs

Well, I got the doors to work perfect. I wired everything as Nacho wrote but I guess I have a bad relay. They will shut but not open. Instead of finding another relay I did this:
Bought a toggle switch and 2 inline fuse holders for each wire so not to overload the motor. I place a 15 amp fuse in each one. Place the toggle switch right under the dash to the left of my left leg and out of the way. Right click opens perfect. Left click, closes perfect. It's not right but it's functional and I like it. Yes, they clink a little when opening and closing.
I love it.
Also, finally wired in the switch for the electric trunk latch (I still owe you Tom, sorry), Mounted the button in the glove box and bata bing it also works perfect.

Bob You slay me... I have a buddy that would do the same thing! It's only temporary. I have the relay mounted and its just a matter of finding another one and replace it. The wiring is all set. I may go the rout of the Bosch relay but I am patient and know I'll find another. At least it works for now. |
