Hi again, some news:
I am able to trigger the condition manually when hitting rb5 with gnd or when hitting the base of q7 with 12v (via resistor of course). But still: Removing J8 results in relay clicking and the light going dark on my XV. When I am reading the circiut diagram correctly then the test procedure is not capable of triggering the condition because: - J8 action results in power loss on k3 which switches the 12V line - without power on 12V line the relay K8 can not pull the contact - so J3 is not connected to the ODC Where is my mistake? How can I test the circuit? BTW: I set up the XV for single wire connection and a drive of max. 5W Kind regards!
