I’m trying to use a relay to trigger a ground connection.
In my hand drawing, the wires coming into 87 and 30 complete a ground (or a circuit) that triggers a separate fan relay.
So as I understand it, when I put 12v into 86, it should close the relay switch, and complete the circuit between 87 and 30.
When wired like this, it does work. For a while. But the relay fails after a short time.
I figure I must be missing something. I know it’s not the normal use of a relay, like shown in the diagram, in that it’s not triggering a higher load circuit, but in my feeble electrical mind it should still work.
