Flashing Brake Light Circuit

When power is first applied, three things happen: the light-driving transistor (Ql) is switched on because of a low output from U2, pin 3; timer Ul begins its timing cycle, with the output (pin 3) going high, inhibiting U2`s trigger (pin 2) via D2; and charge current begins to move through R3 and R4 to CI.When Ul`s output goes low, the inhibiting bias on U2 pin 2 is removed, so U2 begins to oscillate, flashing the third light via Ql, at a rate determined by R8, R6, and.....

Headlight Alarm Circuit

The base of Ql is connected to the car`s ignition circuit; the easiest point to make that connection is at the ignition switch fuse in the car`s fuse panel. Also, one side of the piezoelectric buzzer is connected to the instrument-panel light fuse; when the headlights or parking lights are on, the instrument panel is lit, too. When the headlights are off, no current reaches the buzzer. Therefore, nothing happens. What happens when the headlights arc on depends on the.....

Courtesy-light-delay-switch

This circuit holds on the internal light for approximately one minute after the car doors are closed. When the door contacts open, a + VE pulse is applied to the base of Tl. This transistor turns on, turning off T2 and charging the 10-llF capacitor. T3 turns on, holding on the internal light. ..

Courtesy-light-extender

The circuit keeps the courtesy light on for 30 seconds after you close the door. The lead from the door switch is removed and connected to the 555 circuit. The 555 is arranged in a monostable mode, and is triggered by the door switches. The output drives Ql, which is connected across the interior light switch. The interior light is turned on for 30 seconds after the door is opened. If the door(s) are held open for longer than 30 seconds, it will not reset until after.....

Courtesy light extender

Most car door switches are simply single-pole switches, with one side grounded. When the door is opened the switch grounds the other line thus completing the light circuit. In a car where the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis, the negative wire of the unit (emitter of Q2) is connected to chassis the positive wire (case of 2N3055) is connected to the wire going to the switch. In a car having a positive ground system this connection sequence is.....

Flashing-third-brake-light

When power is first applied, three things happen: light -driving transistor Ql is switched on due to a iow output from U2 pin 3; timer U1 begins its timing cycle, with the output, pin 3, becoming high, inhibiting U2"s trigger, pin 2, via D2; and charge current begins to move through R3 and R4 to Cl. When Ul"s output becomes low, the inhibiting bias on U2 pin 2 is removed, so U2 begins to oscillate, flashing the third light via Ql, at a rate determined by RS, R6, and.....

Headlight-alarm

The base of Ql is connected to the car"s ignition circuit. One side of the piezoelectric buzzer is connected to the instrument-panellight fuse. When the headlights are off,. no current reaches the buzzer, and therefore nothing happens. What happens when the headlights are on depends on the state of the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is on, transistors Ql and Q2 are biased on, removing the buzzer and the LED from the circuit. When the ignition .switch is.....

Lights-On Reminder Circuit

A relay and two diodes are all tliat is needed the relay performs the job of a buzzer so no annunciator is required. When the lights are left on, but the ignition is off, the normally closcd relay contacts are in series with the relay coil. That means the relay interrupts its own power each time it becomes active, so it chatters and acts like a buzzer...

Lamp-Switching Circuit Circuit

A normally open pushbutton switch (SI) delivers a positive input pulse to pin 4 of Ul, triggering the 1C into action. The output of Ul at pin 6 supplies base-drive current to a Darlington pair comprised of Q1 and Q2, activating . 10- capacitor and any resistor value of from 1 to 10 can be used as the timing components.To use the circuit on an auto`s headlights, connect the relay`s normally open contacts across the car`s headlight switch and press SI to extend the on time...

Delayed headlights circuit

This circuit keeps an automobile's headlights on temporarily. It also will turn the lights off, even if you forget to flip the light switch. The circuit's shut-off delay is actuated only after both the ignition and light switches have been on, and only if the ignition switch is turned off first. If the light switch is turned off first, no delay results. Parking and brake-light operation is not affected. The maximum time out can be up to 3 minutes in part 1 and hours with.....

Automatic-headlight-delay

When the driver depresses pushbutton switch S1, timing capacitor C1 charges to 12 V and turns on transistor Q1, which drives power transistor Q2 into conduction. This, in tum, energizes the relay which has its contacts connected in parallel with the headlight switch. The relay will stay energized unW C1 discharges to the Q1 tum-off level. The lights-on period is determined by the value of C1, R1, and the characteristics of transistor QL With values chosen on the.....
