So the car came with no key and the ignition was set up with a metal rod to turn the car on and off.   I didn't like it so I stripped the switch down and installed a flip switch and push button. Everything works but gets real hot. Like a short.  Could it be that I am using too low of am amp switch/button? I am going to rip all the wiring out and rewire as much as possible to find the potential short/cleanup/weight reduction. Just wondering if anyone out there knows of a good switch I can buy for this purpose.   I had bought the original swith from oreillys and it broke from heat and being bumped.

 

 

Any help is awesome. You guys all rock!

Try using a relay. Should handle the volts better
