| Apr 4, 2018 at 18:24 | comment | added | 3Dave | Install an optical sensor in your tachometer, behind the 500 RPM mark. Have a microcontroller, which boots up when the car is turned on (pre-start), watch the sensor. Wire the sensor to an interrupt on the microcontroller. When it detects the needle swing in front of the sensor, activate your relay. OR, describe what your real application is and see if we can suggest a rational solution. | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 15:18 | comment | added | JPhi1618 | I think your best bet is going to be finding a way to turn on your relay when charging voltage is over 13v. That's a clear indicator that the engine is running and would work on almost any vehicle. | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 14:05 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Therexare some split-charge relays that only trigger when the supply voltage exceeds 13.8V - maybe worth looking at those... | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 13:56 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | There may be something like that, but most circuits I'm aware of either have constant power, or key on power. I've never found one which only provides power after the engine is started. There may be something in conjunction with a body control module. If not, you may have to home brew something ... an Arduino, maybe? Just a thought. | |
