Switches and ignition wires

How many aftermarket contura v switches can I wire to ONE ignition wire (add a circuit)?

 

Depends on what you are powering.

A relay's coil I believe will pull about a 1/4 of an amp.

 

Well I want to do two switches right now. One relay and switch will be powering 6000k hid hella 500 and one relay and switch will be power a 4 led light strip.

 

Whatever you are powering has absolutely nothing to do with the add-a-fuse if you are using a relay. The add a fuse circuit will be less than 2a, so you should be fine. Think we went over this already on another post?

 

Yeah I didn't really get a good answer in the other one although you did help thanks! So one add a circuit will work for both switches ignition terminal? Just trying to clarify.

 

No problems running two switches that are only triggering relays off of the same add a fuse. Just make sure you are using a small fuse as the add on, like a 1 or 3 amp.

 

Yeah man, most of the amp draw is going to be through the circuit your relay is controlling. The add a fuse is just to power the relays and any indicator bulbs so the amp draw for that is going to be a lot smaller.

Just make sure you wire the switches in parallel, IE a wire coming off the add a fuse to one switch and a second wire coming off the add a fuse to the second switch- and not in series, or it wont work unless both switches are on at the same time.

 

Ok thanks guys I got it. I put in a 5 amp fuse but I will change that to a 3!
