| Feb 5, 2015 at 7:28 | comment | added | Nedd | Also note that the 1N4148 diodes shown in the linked circuit are small signal diodes (low current). These are not the best parts to be using in automotive power circuits. (The answer mentioning a possible bad diode may have merit.) Use diodes of 1N400X series or better for this application. | |

| Oct 7, 2013 at 20:04 | comment | added | bronco21016 | My understanding was that the regulator handled these spikes? I'm not running any kind of DIY circuit for the regulator I'm simply using a 12V - 5V USB regulator I found online meant for automotive applications. | |
| Oct 6, 2013 at 9:09 | comment | added | MattyZ | Not sure exactly what the problem is, but as an aside you should note that the circuit as shown is not safe for devices connected to it. There can be large positive and negative voltage spikes on the battery terminals, and as shown these will be coupled right into the regulator and your device. There needs to be transient suppression of some kind added after the relay. | |
