Amperage question

[Combat Chuck]

Anybody know the amperage that comes off the ignition coil exciter wire from the ignition switch to the coil proper?
I'm looking into a "kill" switch for the mule, running maybe 15amps max. Anyone know what kind of amperage I'd be looking at here?

Dude, edit your post. Don't put that info out there..read my fix. As for the amperage question, not a clue, I'm not going out this late to measure.
**See if Larry can throw a meter on for ya on Monday??

'K Thanks for the tip.

I was hoping for it written somewhere, but I can ask my dad to help, he's one o' those electrician-types.

Anyway, back to tech.

Sam you need to get day job.

Check out Summit Racing's web site for kill switches.

i would look at the fuse, and size the switch to that.

 

[cruiser88]

20 amp should be plenty

'K thanks!
I will read the fuse. I figured it wouldn't be that much, it's not a load-bearing wire, but an exciter, as cruiser88 says, it's not likely to be over 20 amps. Shoot, I think that's the highest number in my fuse panel.
