How to use/wire a DPDT relay

Post by Markkim »

Hi, I have a question
I have an actuator that I want to keep closed whole my vehicle is turned on. However I want the actuator to open if I press on my car brakes. Is there a way to wire this using relays?
Please and thank you.

Yes, but you don't really want to know.

Not sure about your vehicle or skill, but this genetric drawing may help.
You do not need a DPDT relay unless there is more involved than in your post
