Hiya,
Im using a 6 pin 12v 20A on-off-on DPDT switch to control an electric window in my car, car is DC 12v and about 20A
The window motor simply switches direction by reversing the polarity to it.
At the moment i have it wired as so
1 4
2 5
3 6
I have pins 1 and 6 joined, and 3 and 4 to form the cross.
Inputs go to 2 and 5 and outputs to the motor 3 and 6.
This all works fine and the window goes up and down etc. But my problem is when the window hits the bottom and can go no further if you keep the switch pressed eg trying to force the motor to carry on it over heats the switch, the standard car switch didnt do this, is there a component i can wire in anywhere to stop it overheating? as im an electronics newbie as simple english as possible lol and precise locations where to wire would be great
Cheers
