When the lights of an on-coming car are sensed by photo-transistor Ql, things get going. Sensitivity is set by the 22-megohm resistor, R5, to about half a foot-candle. The relay used has a 12-volt, 0.3A coil. .. -
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.... -
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.... -
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.... -
With both the ignition and the car lights on, piezo transducer BZl draws no current and remains silent. With only the ignition on, diode Dl is reverse-biased and so prevents current flow through BZL. However, when the lights are on and the ignition is.... -
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.... -
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.... -
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.... -
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.... -

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.... -
The headlight flasher is nothing more than a 555 oscillator/timer that`s configured as an astable multivibrator (oscillator). Its input is used to drive the gate of an IRF53IND hexFET, which, in turn, acts like an on/off switch, .. -
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.... -
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.... -
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.... -

This circuit was designed on request to drive a Light-cluster formed by several LEDs that can be mounted in the vehicle as a tail and brake light. When SW1 is on, the cluster will illuminate at medium brightness. When brakes are operated, SW2 will be closed.... -
This circuit has been designed to provide a clearly visible light, formed by 13 high efficiency flashing LEDs arranged in a pseudo-rotating order. Due to low voltage, low drain battery operation and small size, the device is suitable for mounting on bicycles.... -
This device is a simple timer, allowing to keep on the headlights of your vehicle for about 1min. and 30sec., e.g. when accessing some dark place, without the necessity of coming back to switch-off the lights... -
This circuit must be connected to a 5 volt DC source. See my RR page for several 5 volt supplies. Note the flashing LED is optional, but looks s-o-o-o-o good on the top of a locomotive... -
A useful operation for the cars is delayed extinguishing internal lighting cabin of passengers, after close some door of car. Certain cars allocate this operation from their constructor. Oldest sure do not allocate such operation. This delay makes this.... -
When we step on the car' s brake, then together with the classic rear STOP ,the third STOP which is situated in the middle of the back half of the car also switches ON. This is the classic function , is to be found in all modern cars. The difference with the.... -
IC4, C1, R1 and R2 are used for the clock pulse which is fed to both the counters IC2 and IC3 Pin 14. IC1 is a Flip Flop and is used as a switch to enable ether IC2 or IC3 at pin 13. IC7a detects when ether IC2 or IC3 has reached Q9 of the counter pin 11..... -
When the brake pedal is on depressed, battery positive voltage normally applies through the STOP fuse and stop light switch to terminal STP of the ECU, and the ECU turns the cruise control off. A failsafe function is provided so that cancel functions.... -
What's so special about this circuit? Well, the first third-brake light I installed I had to pull a wire from the Third Brake Light all the way underneath the carpet to the brake-pedal-switch and I thought it would be easier to pluck the signal of both.... -
This is basically a flasher circuit modified to turn on and off a bulb instead of a LED. It uses a 555 timer IC working as an astable multivibrator. The flashing rate can be varied from very fast to a maximum of once in 1.5 sec by varying the preset VR1...
