I need help (preferably via a diagram) with wiring a single 12volt switch to control 3 circuits. I believe using relays would be the safest way to achive best results. I have a concern about the relays being energized while the vehicle is off since it is a motorcycle. Also since I want to turn the circuits off while the vehicle is running I am kinda lost as how to wire correctly. I appreciate your help in advance with solving my issue.

Is the switch you want to use already on the bike and have a 12V+ output? If so, what is it currently being used for?
Do you want all 3 circuits to turn on and off with this switch at the same time? If not, please describe.
What is the total current draw of all 3 circuits combined?

And would you ever want more than 1 device on at a time?
