Hello, I have a 18 fet 50A KT Controller and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can hook up on the board for a positive output that turns on when the display is on.
I need to use that for accesories (horn, turn signals, DRL, brake light, etc).
Ideally it would handle more than 1A.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I decided to use the controller 5v output to trigger the accesories line. At first I used a small 5v relay. That worked for a day or two but 48v for the contacts is just too much for most relays as they can't handle the spark.
Now I use a irf3205 to do the switching along with a 10kohm 1/4w resistor (to stop the gate from floating) and it's been great so far.
I will install this in the controller next time I open it.
