Default Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes

The contacts in the switch aren't robust enough for much amperage draw. A good fix (in my opinion) is to install a relay to power everything up through the switch. Going this route, removes the load on the contacts. The switch now only activates the low amperage relay coil.
