Savage switches wiring question?

Hi all,

quicj question, now i feel the end is in sight and may well be done in aq couple of weeks, I'm finishing off the dash.

What are the current ratings of the switches?

fog and horn should be fine but would run the fan through a relay and use the switch as an overide for the relay.
i believe there rated at 10 or 15amps but not100% certain







A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules

I would run all three through relays.

They are rated at 6A iirc so the fog is ok (approx 2A for a 21W bulb) but the fan will definitely need a relay. The horn depends on the current consumption but to be on the safe side I would use a relay too.





Cheers,
