So this winter I'll be doing away with the chunky standard switchgear off the bars and switching (pun intended) to mini switches operating relays. I've never had much experiences using relays since college.
One of the switches I've bought is a neato double momentary switch and I hoped to use one for the horn and one for the pass (high beam flash).
Trouble is, the switches are only rated at 50mA - is that even enough to switch the standard auto relays? Will I need a resistor inline before the switch? Should I check current ratings before ordering things next time?
Any help appreciated.
