They all came to the same concensus Honda would not design a vehicle that would allow that much current to go to the Key switch. So installing a 2nd relay is redundant and consuming power.
Also I wired in a toggle switch to be able to turn the key on and off in case my switch fails.
ic. mine does not have a toggle switch, but the key sitll works even when the PSB doesn't. how much for that school? any website for that to get infos.
