Thread: Lockup Converter Wiring ?

Tweet

Thanks for the info on the pin location cook67. I figure as long as I have the lockup feature I might as well use it.

I know a lot of guys just use a toggle switch to engage it but then you have to remember to disengage it when you come up to a stop sign. I'm going be using the circuit below that I have used in the past that allows it to be engaged with a monentary push button switch and will automatically disengage when the brake (or clutch if so equipted).

I've built these before and all you need is a constant duty relay ( I normally use a chrysler fuel pump relay), a diode rate for at least 3-5 amps) and a combination brake light/cruise switch on the peddle. The switch on the peddle is a combination switch that has 2 plugs on it the one that is normally open when the peddle is up and on that is normally closed when the peddel is up (this is the side that disengages the circuit when the brake peddle is pushed).
