Can you answer this question for me?
How much curren can pins 1 and 4 handle? You can connect these pins to your ignition switch but you have to be careful that you use the right gauge wire and, if necessary, put a fuse in front of them.
Basically, how many amps can your starter switch handle? Because potentially this switch can see as much as 30A if you wire it to the ignition switch (the ignition switch has a 30A fusible link).
The problem is if your starter switch is rated for less than 30A, you may have already fried it if you don't have a fuse in front of it.
Can you find out the answer to this? If you know for sure it can take 30A max then I'll be more confident that the rest will work.

I sent an e-mail to ignited asking them how much current the switch can handle hopefully they get back to me.
Well browsing their site I find a different set of instructions then the ones that came with my button, are all generic 5pin relays the same (as in which pins are which?), because the way they say to wire out the pins of the relay is not the same as what i did. The way i wired the relay is according to the instructions from the relay manufacturer,should i try the way on the ignited site?

They have pin 85(supposed to be ground) and pin 30(supposed to be fused power from battery) flip flopped.
They also have pin 86(supposed to go to the switching means) and pin 87( supposed to go to whatever your powering starter in my case) flip flopped.
I did notice that the wire i have giving power to the switch is not 12 gauge it's inferior could this be my problem?
