Connecting An Audio Output to 20 Headphones...

[ante1]

Audioguru,

On my Saab (50% GM) there is a thing called starter motor solenoid. This is a very big rely sitting directly on the body of the starter motor. The positive heavy gauge wire from the battery goes the this solenoid and another (not so heavy gauge wire) goes to the ignition key (between the front seats) carrying less then 1 A to control the solenoid (big rely) which carry 150

Ante,
I KNEW that you would have a Saab, that's why I mentioned it! ;D

I think that the starter motor's solenoid draws a lot more than 1A to cause the ignition switch to catch fire. ???
Remember 8-track tape players? Their little solenoid sucked more than 5A, didn't they? Guys complained that they wouldn't work on a battery charger.

Maybe GM also left out the contacts in the solenoid.

This has turned into a different subject, partly my fault as well. Let's make a new subject in the chit chat area if you guys want to continue with starter relays, etc. We are a long ways from headphones, eh?

Now you win an LED (not Luxion) of your choice of colour! Right, Mixos?

That's the end of car stuff.
