Re: How the DeLorean's Power Locks Work.



Jim and group. I to have taken the door lock module out and replaced 
the relay's. One step futher I'm going to do is limit the 
current/time the relay's contacts can operate. In other words, like a 
current limiter/sensor on each leg of the relay to the solenoids. Not 
one overated CB for both. If the current is drawn to long or to much 
due to a faulty or tired soleniod, instead of the circuit destroying 
it's self and blowing diodes and burning the contacts up. It will 
mearly cut off or blow a fuse or trip lighter current circuit 
breaker. Most people like to up grade the main circuit breaker to 
allow more current and not to be bothered with a nuisance of 
replacing the circuit breaker. This is one reason they have problems. 
We give them to much leeway. I will do just the opposite. By limiting 
the time/current, I will give the solonoids just enough time to trip 
but no more. If the are slow, it will trip a circuit to cut off the 
voltage/current before it hurts anything futher. Then if the door 
doesn't open, it's time to look at, rebuild or replace the door 
solenoid. I also have a Fix for them in the works for an ease of 
operation. Hopes this helps.
