Need some help having trouble figuring this one out

[workinonit]

I have an issue where I'm using a control module to trip a relay when the module sees key switch power.

The relay then powers other units within the machine. The issue occurs when the machines are moving in the direction of the wind and the power drops off.

Any thoughts on the issue, temp stuck here?

It becomes indecipherable starting with "...the machines are moving in the direction of the wind..."

Sorry, I just couldn't stop myself.

OK, seriously though, is this a safety function of some sort? Are you wanting to have a key switch that enables an action that needs to take place only when the wind moves some object? If so, then are you having trouble with the command logic?

Is this for the bilge pump on a planing hull sailboat that self bails when on the plane??
Have you considered a UPS, suitably weatherproofed of course? This may avoid the power drop off, depending on the phase of the moon.
