I am planning on hooking up a 4-pin relay to supply power to ignition coils on a motorcycle.
The on/off switch
on the diagram below is the ignition switch operated by the key. Ignore the fact that pin 87
and 30
do not lead to anything; I left that out to keep the diagram simple. I also did left out a fuse to keep the diagram simple.
When the switch is turned ON, will I be shorting the battery? How is using a relay in this case different than connecting a wire between the battery +
and -
poles?
