Savage Engine Start Button
Hi All,
If I get a Savage engine start button will I need to use a relay? The start button I have at the moment is rated at 40A so I don't need a relay
with it. Thing is it's such a pain in the arse to actually push! The spring inside it is that strong it makes my dash flex when I push it in!
Cheers
Dave

Cheers Chris,
It's a 2L Pinto. No idea what current it's switching to be honest. Looks like I'll have to find a different one then as I
haven't got time to start putting relay's in, just want to swap the switch.
Cheers
Dave

Yes. The starter motor on a car draws up to 200 A.
The switches are probably 10A max
Even the starter-mounted solenoid could draw 10A or so.

The starter will draw that current but it is the solenoid you are switching. I connected the feed to the relay via my ignition light so the switch
will only start the engine when the ignition light is on, dead when engine running.
