Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

The Nurrish car pc has arrived from bazmcc, let me first say what a top bloke!, great service and been very helpful so far. Was shocked at how light the box was but it came well packaged.

 

I have a UK 2003 Gt, the flip lid. However the car pc comes like this:

Want i intend on doing is wiring up the motor, though not sure how with this config:

I dont mind how it works, either by pressing the button or cooler: goes up with ignition on

 

Im ok with a soldering iron.

 

Can someone help please.

 

Thanks guys

You wont be able to wire it through those connectors unless you have the connectors in the car for it to fit into.

 

You have a couple of options, you can wire the actual motor up to a 12v battery with switchable polarity, you will need a suitable switch etc. You will also need to wire in suitable micro switches to stop the motor when it is fully open or closed or you could just use a push to make switch I suppose.

 

Or just unscrew the motor and the cubby will open and close manually

 

I had the first option working but it is a complete pain in the @r$e so now I have removed the motor and just open and close the cubby manually.

 

Making it open or close with the ignition would be harder still and would definitely need mocro switches to turn off the voltage when the cubby was fully open or closed :headhurt:

 

I would have a play around, get a 12v battery from maplins or somewhere or just a 9v one will work and then wire it up to the motor terminals just to make sure the motor works etc...

 

One of these + a 9v battery :thumbs:

Then you can have a play....

 

If you had used the forum search and put in "motorised cubby" which is actually part of your thread title, you would have found this thread -

or even the thread that that bazmcc posted asking the same thing
