Help with convertible lift system

IMHO. The relay kit is putting a band-aid on a problem.

Assuming the factory did good engineering, thousands of 60s convertibles without a switch issue. there must be a current draw somewhere. Maybe it is high resistance in connectors, loose connectors etc, maybe it's the pump motor, maybe the rebuilt switch was not rebuilt well, maybe it is a replacement wiring harness with wires that are not the correct gauge. (I use to source wiring from china and when measuring strand dia and counting the strands they all came in 1 gauge lower than requested, IE 18 gauge measured closer to 19)


THAT BEING SAID...

I think a relay kit would be a great idea, but after the root cause is sorted out.

Again just MHO


Good points, but I bandaided my headlights too. I just don't like the idea of all that amperage coursing through my switches and bulkhead connectors. They are much brighter as a result. I also run a pair of 40 amp relays on my fuel pumps to keep the higher amp draw out of my oil pressure and two control switches.

Relays are a good idea in a lot of cases, and you make a good point. Be sure ALL your wiring components are in good shape too.
