Posted July 3, 200420 yr comment_87362 Hey guys. I just recently went to the radio that is shack, and bought a rocker switch for a fuel pump cutoff. The switch is rated at 30A, and 12v. Will this be good enough to handle the job? It has 3 "prongs" that you attach, or solder connectors to. They say Ground, Load, and Power. So if im right the ground goes to anywhere on the body, the positive goes to power, and the load goes to the positive on the pump? Thanks, as you can see im no expert Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12453-fuel-pump-shutoff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 6, 200420 yr comment_87616 You'll need to check the Amp rating of the fuel pump that you are using to know if the switch is rated good enough. Usually this info is printed on a label on the pump. If it isn't there or is the stock pump, check the size of the fuse that serves the pump.

July 6, 200420 yr comment_87641 You are correct on the wires. The load terminal always will go to the item being powered. In this case the fuel pump. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12453-fuel-pump-shutoff/#findComment-87641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
