25A enough for ignition switch?
Hi guys - as you might have guessed from some of the questions, am trying to sort out keyless ignition at the mo. Have decided on wiring as below
using option 2...
My question is - is the dual output relay OK at 25Amps?? Unlikely to start the car with all the lights on at once...

I see too many relays!
The second one isn't necessary unless your starter switch is a dinky little one. There are plenty of switches capable of taking this sort of
current. You are only switching another relay (solenoid) after all!
The lighting circuit should be taken from a seperate fuse, fed by a permanent live, so it's irrelevant if they're on or off whilst
starting (other than reducing available power).

Yes - of course - the lights are off a permanent live, you're right! In which case 25A should be fine, and again, a reasonably meaty switch
should manage the starter solenoid - it hadn't occured to me that its just a relay!
Thanks
