How many vents you got?

Hey Rusty! Thanks for the awesome build thread! Just had the Ma Motorsports diff cooler installed but didn't realize it doesn't come with any electrical/switches so it's always on. Obviously don't need it just heading to the grocery store or a quick drive with the kids (not a daily but any excuse to take her out) so I wanted to add a switch. Either one switch for both the fan and pump or one for each. Jon over at Ma mentioned to be careful I get the right amp rated switches but haven't heard back on what amps I need. lol It doesn't look like your thread specifies the amps or notes which switches you used. I don't want to buy ones that won't work or will melt bc they aren't rated high enough. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's the ones I'm looking at:
My favorite and the mounting hole will fit in our little dummy switches above the cup holder but not sure the "paddle" will fit before hitting the mold. Curious if anyone has used these:

or

I know the second ones will fit but want to make sure the amp rating is where it needs to be. Thinking of getting both bc they're cheap enough but don't want to end up where NEITHER of them work. lol

You want to run them off of a relay. Use the switch to energize the relay and turn on the diff cooler fan and pump at the same time.

I used 15 amp switches wired with 30 relay's. One switch and relay for the fan, and one switch and relay for the pump.

Mine is one switch for fan and pump on all the time....because racecar!
