anyone know how much current a siren draws? it's dei 514t i think.. their standard revenger 6-tone soft-chirp siren. i'm adding a play switch and using a micro momentary push-button switch. the contacts are only rated at 0.5 amps (yes it's very small). i'm guesing i'll prolly hafta use a relay. just need to know about how much current the siren draws. thanks!

oh yea, what about a car horn? my car's a 95 mitsu. eclipse. anyone know about how much current the horn draws? the buttons in my steering wheel are screwed up so i might just add an extra play switch type thing for the horn as well. i don't like not being able to blast stupid drivers.. hehe thanks!

Most standard siren has a current draw of 1.5 amps.

Most standard factory horn has a 20 amps fuse on the fusebox connected to a horn relay.

good luck
