So after getting stuck and having to bypass my 2 position ignition switch last week I've been thinking about my electrical system and think I have a flaw.
The 2 position key switch I have is only rated at 4amps at 125V. I made the poor assumption that at only 12V it could handle more and I have all of the power going from my battery through the switch and to my 3 circuits (dual headlights, led tail/brake, electronic ignition). Im guessing this is too much for the switch? I'm limited on switch options as I need one that the key can be removed in the on position as well as off.
If i run a 4 pin relay rated at 40 or 50 amps with the switch pulling 12v from battery and acting as my positive trigger this should take all the load off the switch correct?
