Selective actuation of vehicle components using two control modules

A method, comprising:

• sending, from a first control module of a vehicle, a first signal to open a relay, wherein the first control module is-meets specified operational criteria for controlling a component of the vehicle;
• sending, from the first control module, a second signal to cause a second control module of the vehicle to power a motor for actuating the component, wherein the second control meets specified operational criteria for controlling the component;
• receiving, from the second control module, a third signal indicating a completion of actuation of the component;
• and
• responsive to receiving the third signal, sending, from the first control module, a fourth signal to close the relay, wherein closing the relay electrically couples a power output of the second control module to ground via a fuse.
