Everywhere else in the electrical world, electrical components come with amperage ratings on them. And the electrical specifications of the component is printed on the product packaging or there is an insert with specifications on it. And this information is on the manufacturer's web site.
But NOT with automotive parts! Nothing but a part number on the packaging for switches and relays. No part specifications on the internet anywhere!
Automobiles are becoming quite complex electrically and technicians need to know this basic information.
Anyone know where to find electrical specifications for automotive switches and relays?
Or is there a particular automotive parts manufacturer who has "joined the internet age" and has this information on their web site for their parts?
Here is an example of typical relay specifications from parts suppliers "in the rest of the electrical world"...
