Do-it-yourself automatic switching on of headlights. How to make automatic switching on of low beam headlights on a car with your own hands. Purpose and principle of operation

As you know, the dipped beam must be turned on when driving a motor vehicle, not only in the evening and at night, but also in the daytime. In a situation where the navigation lights do not work, the traffic police officer has the right to issue a fine to the driver. Of course, this is a small amount, but it creates a headache. In this regard, most motorists are faced with a number of inconveniences due to the fact that many simply forget to turn on the dipped beam when getting into the car, or do not turn off the lights when leaving the car, which is why the battery is completely discharged in the morning.

In order to get rid of such problems, many decide to modify the process of turning on and off the headlights. Thanks to the simplest circuits, the headlights can turn on simultaneously with the ignition or at the moment the engine is started. At the same time, during the daytime, the dipped beam headlights will light up, but not the dimensions, and at night everything will work in the usual mode. Let's consider both options.

Automatic switching on of headlights when ignited

In order to organize such work of lighting elements, it is necessary to connect them to the ignition power source, and as many people know, some devices can be connected at any position of the ignition switch, while others begin to function only when the ignition is already on. Based on this, the most convenient place to connect the headlights is the stove power button (the rightmost switch block).

For this scheme you will need:

  • any standard five-pin relay;
  • diode;
  • wires.
  1. Remove the size switch (leftmost switch block).
  2. Disconnect the positive wire from the key block responsible for the dipped beam (usually a green double wire) and connect it to the relay.
  3. In the positive wire that goes to the stove switch, you need to cut an additional wire and also connect it to the relay.
  4. Connect a wire to the relay that powers the headlights themselves.
  5. Throw the wires to the minus (on the case).

Connections can be soldered, but normal insulated twisting is enough for full-fledged work. As a result, the automatic dipped beam will work as soon as you turn on the ignition.

However, this method is considered not the most economical, since the headlights start working immediately, which is not very important in winter, when the engine needs to be warmed up or when the car is being repaired.

To avoid such inconveniences, you can complicate the circuit a bit so that the dipped beam is turned off during parking, regardless of the ignition on or off.

Automatic switching on of headlights after starting the engine

To organize a similar scheme of work, you can go in two directions: connect to an oil pressure sensor or to a handbrake.

Method 1: Connecting to an oil pressure sensor

To make this connection you will need:

  • relay;
  • transistor (2 pieces);
  • wires;
  • chip K561TP1.

All parts are placed in a small housing from the relay, after which the device must be connected to an oil pressure sensor. When the pressure in the engine lubrication system returns to normal, that is, when the engine is turned on, the sensor will open, and power will be transferred from it to the capacitor. Ultimately, the voltage to the relay will be supplied through the transistors included in the power supply to the headlights. When the engine is turned off, power from the sensor is supplied to the desired lamp located on dashboard. At this time, the capacitor that enters the headlight control unit begins to discharge and the power supply to the relay stops.

In this case, you can also control the headlights in manual mode if you use a parallel connection. In order to set the time for turning off and on the headlights, it is enough to select the resistance on the board. The higher this parameter is, the longer the headlights will turn on and off after a longer period of time.

True, not everyone likes this method, since such a scheme is much more complicated (you need to pull the wires and make 3-4 connections).

Method 2: Connecting to the handbrake

This method is much simpler, since in this case it is enough to slightly modify the headlight connection scheme during ignition, which we talked about at the very beginning. To do this, just add another relay and a short wire (about 25 cm) to the standard contact of the handbrake button.

Thanks to this method, the headlights will turn off as soon as you pull the handbrake, and light up when you release it.

In custody

All these methods take a minimum of time and money investments, and the result eliminates many troubles. Automating the process of turning on the headlights does not require special skills in electrics, so you can handle this connection yourself without any problems.

In any modern car there is such a device as a light switch. With its help, the vehicle lighting is activated. You can learn more about the purpose of the device and its connection at home from this material.

Headlight switch characteristic

What is it needed for central switch light switch (DSP), how can a plug-in light switch be used and what is its connection diagram? First, consider the purpose, as well as the principle of operation of the device.

Purpose and principle of operation

We will not talk much about the appointment. Everyone knows how important high-quality road lighting is in conditions of poor visibility. largely determines the safety of the motorist behind the wheel, in his absence, the movement of the vehicle in the dark is prohibited. After all, without a car designation, not only the offender, but also drivers of other cars can suffer.

So, the headlight stalk switch is designed for:

  • ensuring safe movement at night due to the possibility of activating lighting;
  • designation of vehicle dimensions in the dark.

The steering column switch is used to turn on:

  • marker lights;
  • proximity lighting;
  • high beam;
  • turning lights when turning the car.

High-beam lighting is usually used in conditions of poor visibility, as well as when driving on an unlit section of the road.

As for the principle of operation, here, in general, everything is also simple:

  1. At a certain moment, the driver presses a button on the switch.
  2. The switch sends the generated impulse to the control unit or directly to the optics, depending on the design of the vehicle.
  3. The block processes this impulse and determines what type of lighting needs to be turned on - overall, near or far. The corresponding pulse is transmitted to the optics.
  4. In accordance with the received signal, the light is activated.

Scheme

If you are interested in the switch connection diagram, then it is provided below.

Types

There can be several types of devices for switching lighting. The most popular type is a mechanical device, in this case, switching is carried out as a result of the mechanical action of the driver's hand on the device. A person selects the type of lighting required at the moment and, in accordance with this, selects the mode on the device. A more modern type of device for activating optics is automatic system turning on the light.

The system automatically determines when it is necessary to turn on and which light, based on some parameters:

  • poor level of illumination of the road surface;
  • exceeding the vehicle speed threshold (high beam turns on);
  • no other vehicles or obstacles ahead;
  • when driving outside the city.

Faults

Now let's briefly talk about the malfunctions.

Two types of malfunction can occur in the operation of the switch:

  1. Mechanical, caused by mechanical failure of elements. Such a malfunction may manifest itself in the form that when the corresponding button is pressed, the vehicle lighting does not work. Or, after turning on the turn signal, the device, instead of returning to its place with the return of the steering wheel, continues to remain in this position until the driver himself returns it to its place.
  2. Electric. Such a malfunction can be caused by a breakdown of the circuit inside the device, disconnection or oxidation of the contacts. If the problem lies in the contacts, then it is enough just to clean or replace them, solder them. If the essence of the malfunction lies in the circuit, then it will be easier to completely replace the device than to repair it (the author of the video about repairing the mechanism with his own hands is the SamaraRovenki channel).

Instructions for connecting a do-it-yourself light switch

If you are faced with the problem of the device not working, then it will certainly be useful for you to know how to replace it and how to connect a new switch. In general, this task is quite simple and anyone, even an inexperienced motorist, can cope with it. However, the procedure may differ depending on the specific car, in this case, below is the instruction to replace the device with Daewoo car Nexia.

So, how to properly replace and how to connect a new switch:

  1. First of all, the device is dismantled. To do this, remove the steering column pads, which are usually fixed on self-tapping screws. After removing the adjustment from above and below, you can see two latches, they must be wrung out, after which the device can be removed without problems.
  2. Pulling it out of the installation site, you need to disconnect the wires that are connected to it, here you just need to disconnect the block.
  3. Using a thin screwdriver or a clerical knife, you need to unfasten the five casing latches and completely disassemble the device if you want to repair it. In case of repair, you need to be careful not to lose small parts of the structure.
  4. So, if you decide to repair the device, then after disassembling the case, you need to carefully examine the internal structural elements. If there are burns on the contacts, they will need to be resoldered.
  5. If you do not plan to do repairs, then you just need to replace the device with a similar one. When buying a switch in a store, be careful because the parts must be identical. To the device, you just need to connect the block with wires that was disconnected earlier, and then mount it at the installation site. When the switch is installed, you need to check its performance by activating each of its functions. Also make sure that the device works properly when turning on the turn signals - it should return with the steering wheel to its place and automatically turn off after turning.
Sorry, there are currently no surveys available.

Video "Self-repair of the mechanism at home"

A detailed and visual instruction on the topic of repairing the mechanism on your own with the designation of all the moments and nuances is shown in the video below (the author is the SamaraRovenki channel).

They perform a very important function. They not only illuminate the road at night and in bad weather conditions, but also allow other road users to detect the vehicle in poor visibility. Therefore, turning them on and off is a mandatory part of driving a car. Drivers often need to automate this process.

Auto power on low beam can be a very useful feature for the driver

Turning on the headlights with a light sensor

Many foreign-made cars are equipped with lights that turn the lights on and off without human intervention. Most often, such gadgets are combined with a sunlight sensor in a car. If the controller understands that it is dark outside, it turns on the headlights, and when it arrives at a lighter section of the path, it turns them off.

This is a very useful feature for residents of some countries ... But not for Russians. rules traffic in Russia, drivers are forced to turn on the dipped beam (or daytime running lights) when driving at any time of the day and in any visibility.

What device is relevant for our country?

Driving without light threatens motorists with trouble in the form of fines. However, it is not so easy for many to accustom themselves to turn on the headlights every time before the movement begins. And the absence of the habit of turning off the headlights upon arrival at the destination has already presented many motorists with a “gift” in the form of a dead battery.

It would be nice if the headlights turned on themselves when the engine was started and turned off after it was turned off, right? The fact is that any car can be equipped with such an option.

There are two options for devices for automatically switching on the dipped headlights:

  • artisanal;
  • branded.

Artisanal

A handicraft device is assembled by a motorist on his own. This requires changes to the automotive electronics system. However, the process of reconfiguring a car is not so simple. To create an automatic inclusion of dipped beam headlights, as well as for automatic inclusion of high beam headlights, it is necessary to understand the car device well.

Here is one of the options for equipping the machine with the mentioned option.

You can also solder the system in a more transparent way:

Some craftsmen sell devices that turn on and off on their own, assembled by hand. However, no one, even the sellers themselves, can be responsible for the quality of such devices. Therefore, think twice before buying such a product.

Branded

There are several common manufacturers of devices for automatically switching on headlights:

  • Giordon,
  • Quantum,
  • Premier.

For the most part, they are based on light sensors, which is not entirely suitable for Russian motorists. However, you can reconfigure as you wish.

The installation of such a device, as well as the accompanying installation of a light sensor, is a simple matter. Each of them comes with instructions that describe in detail the installation process.

Most often, the manufacturer is responsible for the quality and durability of their product, and sometimes vouches for its work through an official guarantee.

If the device is still broken

Branded devices fail extremely rarely. Most often, their breakdowns are associated with violation of the rules of operation. They can "fly" due to mechanical damage, moisture ingress into electrical components, improper installation or inaccurate use.

It’s impossible to tell right away what exactly can break. However, you can take a closer look at its device.

As a rule, a standard headlight switch consists of the following parts:

  • switch,
  • wires,
  • control unit,
  • relay.

If the device stops working, you need to look for the cause in one of the sections of this circuit.

Pros and cons of dipped beam headlights

Like any innovation, this option has its admirers and enemies. The attitude of motorists to such a device is due to its pros and cons.

The pluses include the fact that such a device greatly simplifies the process of driving. It contributes to the lack of distraction of the driver's attention, freeing him from worries about the light of the car.

However, this mechanism also has disadvantages. Installing a homemade device over time can lead to problems with automotive electronics. There is no quality guarantee for such devices.

If the device is also equipped with a light sensor to adjust the intensity of lighting, it can go crazy on some roads. For example, on canvases with rare lanterns and different levels of illumination.

The lack of worries about turning the headlights on and off can threaten the driver with fines during the further operation of the car that is not equipped with an automatic “assistant”. Therefore, the best option for automatically turning on the dipped headlights when driving is your own habit.

What can be added to the device?

In addition to the light sensor, a rain sensor can be mounted in the car. It will send photons from the passenger compartment and, by the speed of their return, will determine what visibility is on the street.

If you connect it not only with the wipers, but also with the headlights, such a device will help turn on the light not only at night, but simply in case of poor visibility.

As we can see, there are many devices to simplify the process of driving a car. But it is best to “pump” not a car, but your own skills and habits. After all, this is what will remain with you, no matter what car you drive.

Good luck on the roads.

If you know of other ways to make the headlights turn on on their own, please write about it in the comments.

As you know, the movement of all Vehicle during daylight hours, it should be carried out with the dipped headlights on or fog lights, if any. There is a fine for violation, and in order not to forget this, in many modern models automatic switching on of the dipped beam headlights is provided. If you don’t have such a system, it doesn’t matter, you can do it yourself, it is this issue that is devoted to this review.

To begin with, we will consider the main advantages that the use of automatic options for turning on the light gives us:

Convenience Now you will not forget to turn on the light, and the traffic police will not fine you. As practice shows, most of these offenses are carried out precisely because drivers forget to turn on the lights at the beginning of the movement. In addition, you do not have to be distracted, you will know that the system works automatically at a certain point in time.
Battery conservation As practice shows, very often, after the end of the movement, drivers forget to turn off the light, as a result of which the battery runs out, if such cases are repeated periodically, the battery will fail very quickly. The presence of such a system eliminates such troubles, because the shutdown will also be carried out automatically.
Ease of work You can easily implement any of the options described below with your own hands, the installation instructions are simple and clear, so you can do it without outside help, especially since the package includes all the elements necessary for installation. The main thing is to be careful and use only high-quality connection methods, twisting and electrical tape are unacceptable
Small cost The price of the required elements is low, so you will not incur large costs. The most important thing is to choose a quality option that will ensure the good operation of the system.

Important!
A big plus is that you can customize the features of the system for yourself, this allows you to use devices of this kind on almost any car model.

Overview of the main options and their features

We will look at how to make the dipped beam turn on automatically in two ways, each of them has its own characteristics, and the choice is ultimately up to you anyway.

Relay

Domestic manufacturers, as a solution to the problem, propose to use a special relay, its marking is 719.3777-01, with its help it is possible to implement automatic switching on of the dipped beam and side lights.

Regarding this option, we can say the following:

  • The system is suitable for VAZs from the 4th to the 15th model, GAZ, UAZ cars and others, in which the dipped beam winding of the relay has a permanent connection to ground;
  • The headlights come on approximately 5 seconds after the engine starts., which is very convenient, since, firstly, it makes it easier to start the engine, secondly, the load on the battery is significantly reduced, and thirdly, the life of the lamps increases;
  • The light turns off when the ignition is turned off., which is also very convenient, because now you will not leave the car with the headlights on;
  • If necessary, you can always turn off the light manually, to do this, the switch is flipped to the "dipped beam" position, and then placed in the "off" position.

Now let's look at how to implement the automatic switching on of the dipped headlights with our own hands, the work is done in the following sequence:

  • First you need to install a new node instead of the dipped beam relay, and if you use a mini-relay, you will need a special adapter, which should also be supplied in the kit, the whole process is as simple as possible and will not take much time;

  • In order to connect to the car's power supply, the relay has a wire with a contact, it must be connected to one of the fuses included in the kit. The option that fits your car is selected, it already has a connector for the wire that comes from the relay, so everything is done very quickly and reliably;
  • The fuse is installed instead of one of the standard ones, and you need to choose the one that, after starting the engine, is constantly supplied with “+”, all the necessary information can be found in the instructions, if you don’t have it, then find the turn signal relay power fuse and put our unit instead;
  • As you know, in addition to the low beam, the dimensions and the backlight of the license plate should be turned on; in order to implement this option, it is necessary to connect the wires of the low beam and the size of one of the headlights in the car through a diode (this unit is included in the kit);
  • If your dimensions are not parallel, then you will have to join the second headlight in the same way. The connection is made simply and quickly using connectors, the diagram below shows this process in detail;

  • In some models, the backlight of the license plate is turned on separately, in order to realize its automatic activation, you need to use the same wire with a diode and a connector to connect the dipped beam switch wire and the license plate light wire, an explanatory figure is shown below.

Having done this process, you will get a convenient and reliable system that will prevent many problems.

Important!
On sale you can find similar designs of the second generation, which are marked 719.3777-02, their main difference can be called the ability to install on any car, including models without a regular low beam relay.

DRL module

This is a device for automatically turning on and off the headlights, which can be installed on any vehicle with an on-board network voltage of 12 to 24 Volts, its main advantages include the following:

  • Can be installed on any brand of car, you do not need to worry about whether this option is right for you;
  • The standard wiring diagram is not disturbed or damaged, therefore, if necessary, this control can be removed without any consequences;
  • You can customize the inclusion order as you wish.– either 15 seconds after starting the engine, or by triggering the start sensor (for example, pressing the brake pedal can serve as a signal);
  • All required components are included, as well as an instruction that discusses several connection options, depending on;
  • The system may include alternatives daylight: additional headlights or foglights.

Important!
This option is especially suitable for cars with auto start - now your headlights will not light up when the engine is running, the light will turn on when you press the brake pedal, which is very convenient.

As for the connection, a very clear sketch is presented above, according to which work should be done, in addition, the instruction describes all the actions in great detail. If you do not have experience in carrying out work, then it is better to take the help of specialists, since an incorrect connection will cause system malfunctions.

The workflow goes like this:

  • First, the device is connected to a light switch installed in the cabin;
  • The black wire is used to connect to ground in any place convenient for you, the main thing is that there is good contact with the metal on the connection;
  • The red wire must be connected to the ignition;
  • The yellow-black version is required to supply power to the device;
  • Next, you should connect to the speed sensor, in order to avoid problems, it is worth making the contacts as reliable as possible and protecting them from moisture and dirt with high quality.

The location of all elements is shown in the photo below, such a cheat sheet should be on the packaging of each product.

There are many options for such control systems on the market, and it is important to choose a quality product, so you should not save on this device. In fact, there is nothing difficult in the works, and if you get the job done, you can further improve your car.

For example, the system of automatic switching from high beam to low beam allows you to make adaptive light, which will be adjusted depending on lighting conditions: when approaching oncoming traffic or entering an intersection. The scheme is presented below, but to implement it, you will need certain knowledge and skills.


In some models, you can enable DRL by firmware on-board computer, for example, knowing the BMW E39 automatic dipped beam option codes, you can enable this function, but it is better to contact specialists to carry out this work.

Output

The video in this article will tell you how to make your car daylight and get rid of many problems. This will allow you to understand the issue even better so that you do not make mistakes in your work.

Taking into account recent changes in the rules of the road in the territory of the Russian Federation, the driver is required to turn on the dipped headlights both when driving in the dark and during the daytime. Otherwise, the traffic police have the right to fine the driver.

Although the amount of the fine is not the largest, the very fact that a car can be detained for violating traffic rules, after which the driver will be fined a certain amount for such an offense, is unacceptable for most responsible motorists for a number of reasons.

Naturally, in the current situation, many car owners are faced with the fact that the human factor in practice turned out to be main reason, according to which a car without the lights on is stopped and fined. In simple words, often drivers simply forget to turn on the headlights.

To avoid such mistakes, the best option is to turn on the dipped beam when the engine is started, that is, automatically. However, not all vehicles have a similar function, which is implemented regularly. In this article, we will look at how to modify the car so that the headlights turn on at the same time as starting.

Automatic headlights: scheme, available options, advantages

It is quite logical that it is the automatic switching on of the dipped beam that is the very option that allows you not to be afraid of a situation when the driver forgot to turn on the light before the trip. At the same time, many imported cars have an automatic switch-on device, but it is triggered only under certain conditions (changes in lighting, a signal from a rain sensor, etc.)

However, according to traffic rules in the Russian Federation, the light must be turned on all the time, regardless of whether it is dark or light outside. Some owners, in order not to forget to turn on the light, are forced to leave the car in the parking lot with the headlights on during daylight hours, thereby.

As you can see, the problem is very relevant. To solve the problem, the most rational way out of this situation is such a system for automatically turning on the low beam, which will work regardless of the degree of illumination and other conditions, and also work without the participation of the driver.

In other words, the headlights should turn on in parallel with the start of the internal combustion engine. You can also implement turning off the light after the engine is turned off. By the way, for cars that do not even have a regular light sensor ( domestic cars, old or budget new foreign cars), which is triggered in the event of a change in illumination, the always-on dipped beam will increase safety when driving through tunnels, under bridges, etc.

So, the demand for such systems led to the fact that various enterprises that specialize in the production of electrical equipment began to produce ready-made solutions for cars (for example, Skybrake M5, AvtoSvet AS, Pharaoh, etc.) You can also note a large number of schemes and devices that enthusiasts and experienced motorists create on their own.

If the desire to put on the car homemade devices no, then the factory solutions will be the best option. However, the functionality may be somewhat limited. The main thing is that both in the first and in the second case, such solutions make it possible to implement automatic switching on of the headlights, the light turns on synchronously at the moment the ignition is turned on or the engine is started.

At the same time, we note again that different schemes differ in functionality. For example, you can make it so that only headlights are on during the day, and dimensions are connected at night, etc.

Schemes for automatically switching on headlights when starting the engine

Let's look at some of the most popular solutions. The main task for auto-turning on the headlights is to supply power to it. This power can be taken from the ignition. However, it should be remembered that there are often other devices in the car that are powered by the ignition switch. This can be difficult.

For example, if the radio turns on after the first turn of the key in the lock, the headlights can also work at that very moment. These aspects need to be taken into account separately. It turns out that the engine is turned off, and the low beam is already on.

To avoid such nuances, such a scheme is considered optimal, by means of which the supply occurs through the button (relay) at the moment of closing contact group in the ignition lock when starting the engine. Turning off the headlights, respectively, will occur when the circuit is opened and the engine stops.

Note that many drivers believe that such a scheme leads to the fact that the load on the electrical circuit increases. In practice, a properly executed connection minimizes or eliminates such loads.

To implement the automatic switching on of lighting devices according to the simplest scheme with your own hands, you need to purchase:

  • standard relay (five-pin),
  • wiring and diodes;

More complex and at the same time more convenient is the scheme when, in simple terms, the headlights are powered by the parking brake or oil pressure sensor. For the successful implementation of such a solution, you will need to have 2 transistors, wiring, a relay and a K561TP1 chip or similar.

Let's start with the first diagram. When installing, the stove off button, which is located on the switch block, is best suited. All work boils down to removing the size switch, then the “+” wire and the key block are disconnected, through which the dipped headlights are switched on.

The connection itself is made using a double wire, which is connected to the relay. In the “+” wire, which goes to the stove switch, another wire is inserted, which is also connected to the relay. Next, a wire is pulled to the relay, through which power is supplied to the headlights themselves. Another ground wire is thrown at the body. This completes the connection.

It remains only to either solder all the connections, or carefully insulate all the "twisting". The result is a system for turning on the dipped beam at the moment the ignition is turned on.

The disadvantages include the fact that winter period the load on the battery at the time of starting will be higher, the car will warm up with the headlights on and consume additional fuel, etc.

  • To get rid of the shortcomings, you can use the following scheme. Improvements will make it possible to turn off the light after the vehicle stops, and regardless of the inclusion of the ignition itself. To do this, the connection is made to parking brake or to . As mentioned above, it is based on a microcircuit, and the connection is made through a “handbrake” or an oil pressure sensor.

In the case of the sensor, after turning off the internal combustion engine, the pressure drops. This leads to the fact that the contacts of the oil pressure sensor open, the capacitor is energized, the voltage goes through the transistors to the relay and the headlights turn off.

Also after stopping ICE power from the sensor is fed to a diode lamp, which is installed on the instrument panel. Also, the capacitor in the headlight control circuit will begin to discharge and the relay will not be energized.

Although this scheme allows you to "bypass" the ignition lock, it is also not without some disadvantages. If the pressure in the lubrication system is “floating” or decreasing, the sensor may be triggered when driving in neutral or idling. In this case, the headlights will blink.

We also add that the headlights can be turned on both automatically and manually. This feature is implemented by creating a parallel connection and selecting desired resistance on the microcircuit itself. By the way, the decision to connect to an oil pressure sensor is not popular, since the circuit is complex, additional wiring is needed, and the requirements for the quality of connections are increasing.

  • It is easier to implement the connection to the parking brake. To do this, you need to add an additional relay to the general list of parts, which is powered by the parking brake button.

This method allows you to achieve the following:

  1. as soon as the driver starts to raise the handbrake, the headlights turn off;
  2. if you start lowering the handbrake, the headlights turn on immediately;

As you can see, self-made solutions can have more advantages than regular ones. Functionality is also expanding, the cost is often more attractive. In other words, it is quite possible to assemble an inexpensive circuit for automatically turning on the dipped headlights.

It is important to understand that in order to assemble a circuit with your own hands, you need certain experience and skills. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to seek the help of a professional auto electrician. If the work is carried out independently, the tie-in points are optimally located in the interior space, and not under the hood. This approach will avoid contact oxidation, reduce the risk of moisture and short circuits, etc.

If we talk about what is better, soldering or twisting wires, a correctly made twist in some cases will be better than soldering in relation to a car. The fact is that the vehicle is subject to various vibrations, and soldering is less resistant to vibration loads.

As for relays, wires, fuses, etc., the relay must be securely fastened, the wiring must be laid so that the wires do not lie in the "tightness". In places where the wires are bent and at the points where the wire touches the metal parts of the body, additional insulating heat shrinkage must be present. Otherwise, the wire may fray and begin to close.

It is also strongly not recommended to use ordinary jumpers instead of relays, connect bypassing fuses, etc. Ignoring these recommendations can not only cause equipment problems, but also short circuits or fires.
