I have 4 2wire actuators that i'm going to be installing in my Corolla in the next few days and wanted to know what would be the lowest ampere rating I could use for the relay?

I will be using this circuit...

I wouldent go with anything below 5 A, why not just use 30 or 40 Amp automotive relay they will work just fine.

Thanks.

I would like to use regular good old 30 or 40 amp automotive relays but they go for almost 10 bucks a pop over here (Dominican Republic).

Going to have to order a few from partsexpress since the cheapest they have here is the 3 A variety and they want almost 5 bucks each for those...

Damn I wish I was home!
