Hey guys, having some issues with a new pump motor running on my existing timer relay.
Thomas 107DC24 runs great from it.. New Ingersoll Rand brushless motor does not.
I'm adding a very simple drawing to show what I am doing. I have purchased about 1200 bucks worth of timers and have yet to find one that will work. All they do is "click, click, click", but if I run 24v leads from "load" of solar controller, pump runs great.
Here is my over-simplified drawing.. maybe someone can add something...

In your last post, I took it that you were recommending a second relay and then use the timer relay to trigger it. I think that would work but the timer can't be connected to the load terminals of the controller if the motor is. The motor will draw down the voltage to a level where the timer relay opens. Some isolation would be required or some modification to maintain voltage would be needed.

I think you just nailed the problem!
Instead of jumper, I DO need to run a separate lead... Just like console depthfinder shutting off when you start the engine. Need mo POWA.
I believe you are both on the right track here..
