12v lead question...
so if I am running three small round led switches, used only to 1) signal a relay (two differnt sets of aux lights, led bars) and 2) signal an amp, I dont need to worry about huge power draw correct? (these switches Pilot Automotive LED Rocker Switches PL-SW15B - SummitRacing.com)

And like I mentioned before, the wire gauge to these things have to be considered, too. They must be able to carry more that the fuse tap rating, unless you have a properly sized fuse for each wire..
Ok, let say I am using OTRATTW switches (single led), I need the lead for each switch from the fused tap in the factory fuse box and then just connect to whatever it is turning on (relay, amp). Correct?
Relays, Switches and Amp trigger - Correct
Relays, Switches, Amp Trigger and direct feed to anything else - Not correct.
Like Ron said. To do this correctly. These circuits are only designed for "Lite Control Loads". Any Loads controled directly by a switch should be feed directly from the battery.
You guys know so much more on this shiz than I. I think what I am getting is that as long as we are only talking about a switch source, we are good. Not good when it is a load source, which they will not be. (lights are on relays, switch to turn on relay; amp is direct wired, switch to turn on amp only (remote)) lol hope I am right!
Thanks a bunch guys.
