Gasoline Fumes · 11-10-2011, 03:39 PM

Thanks, I'll give that a try! As long as the ECU can tell whether the car is moving or not, I think it will be OK.

Is there any particular 555 part number I should be looking for? Being inside a car in NY, it wlll be subjected to temps from about 0°F to 120°F.

My other idea was to manually engage the low-output mode of the alternator. I just have to figure out what signal the ECU sends to the alternator.
