door pops
« on: 19 February 2007, 22:16 »
Hi

I Just bought a mk2 golf with clifford g5 already fitted, my question is i want to use 2 of the outputs it has as door pops for the rear doors, does it need a relay between the alarm and the solenoid??

Thanks in advance

Best to Relay it, not sure of the current draw you can have from the outputs and those solenoids use quite a bit of power to pop doors,  don't forget to fuse the feeds to the relay :)

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

Nice 1

I am using solenoids that i bout from volks apart but they dont seem strong enough, do i need to connect it to the handle wire or on the actual door latch?

Cheers
