Hi i need some help with this solenoid project
I need to press switch to send 12v solenoid to make it go up and when it gets to its full travel it needs to hold for about 10 to 15 seconds then change it's polarity so the solenoid pulls back in to its start position to do it over again
It's for a electric go kart indicator arms like the old ford pop iam making my grandson for Christmas so if anyone can crack this and give me a parts list that will be great
Thanks

Here is a circuit:
The "Adjustable Delay Monostable Trigger Relay" cost between $1 and $2, available in a 12V version.
The solenoid should be oriented such that gravity makes it return when off.
It is good practice to put a snubber diode across the solenoid terminals.
If you absolutely need a second solenoid to make it return, you would need a second time delay relay.
