new colum wiring help
I have a later model colum with telscope to put in my 97... the motor has 2 wires... hook it up and it goes 1 way, reverse it goes the other...the tele control switch has 3 wires one common, 1 when pushed up and the other when pushed out... now the question....how can I make this work? thanks John

Get the two SPDT relays. Ground on both 87a pins, 12v to both 87 pins and both 85 pins, run your switch common to ground and the other 2 wires to pin 86 (one on each) and your motor wires to pin 30 (one on each) If the motor runs backwards, reverse wires on pin 30 or pin 86. You will be grounding the common wire on your switch and pulsing a ground to the relay. The relays rest at ground and when you activate one, it will go hot while keeping the other at ground. The voltage reverses when you change switch directions.

SPDT is a better way.
