Needing some help with a C5 control system.  My C5 came with no wiring, no control box, no indicator panel.  What i have got is a motor and a battery!  I know the motor works as if I connect the battery it spins.

Questions;

1) Has anyone made up a simple safe control system?
2) Can I wire up a simple on/off switch between the battery and the motor?
3) What signals (from the indicator panel) are critical?

I am NOT going for a concourse C5 just something that is safe when driven.  Thanks for your guidance

You can run it with a relay and a switch, Radiomarty or Karl should be able to help with the connections etc, very basic but works fine, several people are using this setup.
