96burban Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hey SMD I was wondering if anyone knows I there is such thing as an electric timer for cars?? I'm talkin like the type of timers that u have in ur home that plugs into the wall and u set the time u want something to turn on. Just for cars though. Do they exist?

BassJunkie Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Some two way alarms have a feature where you can set a time for your vehicle to start if thats what you're looking for. If you don't mind me asking what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Quote 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

watabeast Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I know they do make timed relays for 12v applications. I know they are are settable to really short intervals. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/NATIONAL-CONTROLS-On-Delay-Relay-5DPZ7 not sure if this would work...kinda pricey too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Cuz I have these blue LEDs attached to a metallic silver plexi back and I have it intergrated in my door and now the way it's wired is directly for it turn on when u open the door. But then plexi is blue all the time. But I want it to only b blue during the night and for it to b turned off during the day. And the time when u would it most during the night is when u r getting into the car and u open the door and so I can't just have a switch cuz then it's too late, u would already have closed the door by the time u flip the switch. So I wanna know if there is a timer that would turn on at night time only when power is given to it (which would b when u open the door) and so that it turns off at day. By setting the time of day on it.

BassJunkie Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I really can't expand since I'm just speaking theoretically. You may want to try a tahoe/burban forum to find more info on how that system works. I'll do some research though.

14dbass Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sounds like the would work just fine. Just don't splice in to that relay. Use it to trigger another relay like Bassjunkie said.

BassJunkie Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I would also diode isolate it.

Keith77 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I believe Bassjunkie is talking about at "photo cell" type sensor. I have one on my 02 Tahoe when its dark my headlights turn on automaticly. Mine is located on the center of my dash the little round red thing on the dashes of gm trucks Quote Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.
