Flashing/Pulsing third Brake lite for cars - Several years ago these flashers were introduced in the automotive industry as part of the third brake light and contained strobe lights (and strobing continuously for the duration of pressing the break pedal) but got abandoned almost immediately sometime later because of the 'strobe' effect it has on some people. This circuit has become obsolet since much better circuits are available these days without the 'lag' in between brakes caused by R4 and C3. One of the circuits is listed below __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR

Fuel Cut Defeater for Cars with Variable Boost Control - Are you intending to build the Variable Boost Control described earlier? if so, you will need to built this simple Fuel Cut Defeater (FCD) to eliminate the standard factory fuel cut which typically occurs at boost levels about 16-17psi. The unit is not adjustable, so no external controls are required.__ SiliconChip
Fuel Injector Pulse Width Monitor - Shown below is the schematic for the pulse width monitor. The heart of the circuit is the transistor current source which charges cap C10 to form an integrator. The theory is that the cap is charged and the voltage across it increases linearly for the amount of time that the injector is energized. As the injector is switched off the voltage in C10 is stored in cap C9 and then C10 is reset to 0 volts to get ready for the next cycle. The output of the circuit is the voltage across cap C9, this voltage is fed directly into U3 the bar graph chip to be displayed as a value betw1een 1-10 on the LEDs. __
Grand Cherokee Off Highway Lights - I purchased my 95 ZJ as a daily driver and as a tow rig for my CJ-7. I have to drive roughly 240 km (110 miles??) a day. A lot of this driving is done in the dark, and since I live in the woods, there is naturally a lot of wildlife to be seen, and hit. I also didn't want to hit another deer (hit one almost one month after I bought it). I felt that the high beams on my ZJ were inadequate, so I decided to add some high powered lights. I purchased four Pro Comp 8 inch 130 watt lights. I mounted them on a roof rack that I built, which also holds my spare tire and 55-watt reverse light (which I get to later). __ Designed by Mike Mueller

Headlight guard - We can text the functionality of the unit with the vehicle's battery. The 0V wire connects to the negative terminal of the battery. The parking light wire connects to the positive terminal. When these two connections are made, the buzzer will sound. When we connect the ignition wire to the positive terminal (along with the Parking Light Wire) the buzzer stops. Every time the ignition wite is removed from the battery, the buzzer will sound. __ CdS Electronic

Too many car amps (although solidly built) are apparently designed by computer class students, too many traces, too many vias, absolutely wrong component placement etc. And on schematic level, their different functional parts look like a newspaper clip collection. if the amp __ Contact klausmobile @ yahoo.Com
Interface between GM's 5 Volt 8192 Baud ALDL Data Stream & a PC Serial Port - There have been a number of designs published (none by GM) to enable the GM proprietory ALDL data stream to be tapped into. Our design uses a MAX232 (or MAX233) because this is the simplest way to do it. We also avoid using a separate power supply by powering the MAX chip from the PC's serial port (DTR and RTS signals must be set to +ve) __ Designed by Author P. Gargano
Interior light extender - All modern cars are fitted with door-switch operated courtesy lights. Useful devices, but not quite as useful as they might be because they are so arranged that the light is extinguished as soon as you close the door - just when you need light to find the ignition switch. do up your seat belt etc. How much better if the internal light stayed on for a few seconds after the door is closed. This little project does just that. it provides a four-second delay (approx) after which the interior light slowly dims - being finally extinguished after 10 or 12 seconds. The unit is very simple to construct and once tested and properly insulated it may be wired across one of the car door switches. in operation, after a short delay the lights will gradually dim until they are completely extinguished. There is no battery drain in the off-state as the unit only operates during the delay period after the door is closed.__ CdS Electronic
