rear door popper solonoid

[etlsport]

i removed the solonoid from its mounted position in the door, and got it to work no problem, then once it was installed.. didnt seem to want to work again.. i didnt change any of the wiring when i put it back in

have u checked for power and grounding on the wires? i dont have a popper but its probably a good place to start....

i went ahead and finished the install and magically with no changes in ground or connections to the solonoid, it worked, so i guess the dome light circuit just doesnt carry enough current to fire it properly.. but it works like a charm now, even when parked downhill

Make sure that you are running the solenoid through a relay. Without one, you draw an awful lot of current though a circuit not designed for that amount.

yep, i wired it using raque thomas's diagram that taps power off the door relay then into a 30amp SPDT relay, for my constant power i just tapped off the power wire for my amps and then used the stock radio power for my switched power since i ran completley new wires for my head unit
