Fireblade switches (also in wanted)
Lightning - 5/12/03 at 11:05 PM

I am trying to use the fireblade switches.
I have after much buggering about found that the light Hi Lo switch is u/s.

Has anyone out there got one please.

PS: I was initially confused as the book shows 2 relays, one for Hi and one for lo. My loom only has Hi relay and appears to use the switch direct for Lo.

This could of course be contributary to failure.

Thanks in anticipation

This is maybe, possibly, probably why the switch is u/s in the first place - the current is too high for the switch.

IMHO for this kind of current you you're safer using relays for both Hi and Lo circuits.

Have got it sorted now.

I put an on/off rocker switch on the top of the switch cluster and wired it in to a relay that switches from the lo to high.

By the way putting the hazards in is a doddle once I used a dipolar switch.
