Wiring and power systems can be a little tricky to wrap your head around, especially when it comes to something as specific as a solenoid. This device is necessary with your vehicle’s starter in order to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. But you may be wondering, how do I know my solenoid works […]
Automotive relays are electrically operated switches that control circuits using power from another source, such as a switch, computer, or control module. These relays automate power distribution, enabling circuits to turn on and off at specific times. However, their true advantage goes beyond automation—they allow for the control of multiple circuits, including those with different […]
Automotive relays come in various types to accommodate different electrical applications. Understanding these differences is crucial in selecting the right relay for your vehicle or project. Below is an overview of some of the most common types of automotive relays and their uses. Change-Over Relays Change-Over Relays are among the most commonly used automotive relays. […]
Overview Often times when working on high amperage applications a solenoid is incorporated into the wiring system. This is due to their ability to control a large output of power with very little power input. But, what is a solenoid?
Relays are essential components in electrical systems, but understanding how they work can feel overwhelming. With this simple guide, we’ll break down the basics of relay wiring using a helpful diagram to explain how they function, the role of their pins, and how to connect them to your setup.
