Controlling water pumps with relay

I tired to control the water pumps with my relay but it seems to be not working.

Whether the pin is HIGH or LOW, if the pump is connected to 'no' it doesn't runs, and if the pump is connected to 'nc' it is always running.

I have no idea why this is happening.

Post a wiring diagram.

  • The top and bottom power rails need to be connected (see red and blue arrows).

  • You really don't need the relay card, a logic level MOSFET or BJT will work instead.

  • A reversed biased diode should placed across the motor terminals

  • What is the motor's resistance ?
