Hey ppl,

So i am re-doing the dashboard in my classic mini. The switches that are in it are old and tacky looking so i brought some new ones. However, the old ones were high current rating and did not require relays. The ones i have brought will do since the can only handle around 2 amps.

I have got the following to install:

Starter Button

Lights

Sidelights

Hazzards

Rear Screen heater

Foglights

Power (for car pc in boot)

Brake test switch (this ones a bit mini specific i believe)

SO i need to know what relays to use for all these? Obviously a neat realy bank could be nice...?

Thanks guys

You will need relays for starter button, headlights, high and low beams, rear screen heater and fog lights. Also possibly the in car PC unless you have an existing acc position on the ign switch. Hazards and brake test, replace with original. The relays will all be bosch 4 or 5 pin types readily available, Halfords, Maplin etc. The hazards can be a STDP switch or a single on off switch with two relays or a single type 87b relay. (Harder to get). You will still need a flasher relay and the original brake test switch. In fact if the original had the brake test switch, you WILL have an ACC (GREEN / WHITE?) at the original ign switch.
