Switches - The Basics

It goes without saying that relays throw most for a curve. But, to understand the relay, you need to first understand the switch. Here I show you numerous types of switches, how they function, and explain the terminology that accompanies them in detail. Grab a copy of my book, Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems, and you can learn even more! Next up . . . you'll learn all about relays.

@composite55 There really aren't any plans as I kind of shot from the hip on it but I could build you nearly anything you want. Thanks for the comments on the book - be sure and check out my follow-up, Automotive Electrical Performance Projects (SA209).

Very informative for a beginner, spot on and correct in every way. May seem elementary for someone with more experience.
