Might of known, I pulled the #6's I had in there out
Think I will do it like you suggested Bill. Use a small relay switch like Cane Pole suggested. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks guys.
IBNFSHN and Cane Pole have the right method. By all means run the smaller gauge wire to a relay. A solid state relay would really make the whole thing top shelf as they can withstand much higher duty cycles than electromechanicals.
