how to wire a relay:

DryRob · 19-10-13, 10:35 PM

I'm not a sparky or mechanic so I don't know the lingo but I know the basics of how they work. I apologise for confusing matters by not drawing a circuit but I can't do that on my phone.

That diagram was more or less what I'm planning to do, I only mentioned the lighting circuit to ask where abouts to pull a switched live from to operate the relay.

I just don't know what rating relay to get, could you help with that please?

get the biggest rated (40 amp) 12v relay you can, it can never be to big

They're fine but have really only one setting -full on.
Which is OK I guess, but I wonder if there is a way of making the other setting usable...

I got mine the other day, did you use any glue when fitting them? The ones I've got have a hard plastic tube through the middle, did you remove that?
