I plan on using a relay for the ACC and a relay for the IGN circuits in my car...

Will 30A relays be sufficient?

Thanks!

Getting closer to the push button start for the car. I've gone to a dual relay setup for the button, wherein one relay takes a momentary pulse (from the start button) and switches the other relay on and latches it, until the + or - is removed (stop button)...this will turn on one relay each for the IGN and ACC.

Using a simple timer to deactivate the Viper auto start (or maybe even just the standard brake pedal still) and also for push-and-hold for IGN only, without starting...

I've ditched the Allen Bradley latch relay for this simpler design...
