Troybuilt 54" Mustang
I have replaced the factory seat with a suspension seat and the ride is great.
I am not one to by-pass the safety switches (though I did for the test ride).
I now want to hook up the seat switch.
I may end up just removing the seat so I can get to the seat bottom and grind
a larger hole in the switch mount plate to fit the factory switch. I say grind because the
plate the switch mounts to is in fact metal. The new seat switch has only 2 wires
and the Mustang using a 4 wire system.
My other thought is to use the 2 wire switch in the seat now to trigger relays
and wire the factory plug to a set of relays. I think I will need 2 relays because it seams that
when the switch is closed (you sit) 2 pins are open and 2 pins are closed and when you get up
the 2 pins that were closed are then open and the ones that were closed are now open.
Using 2 relays will keep the wires separated. But, it may be that I can use one relay.
So rather than re-invent the wheel here. Has anyone converted a 4 wire seat system to a 2 wire system
using relays? If not can it be done and am I on the right track?
Thanks
