Re: Heated front Screen - Wiring Calculations
According to my measurements and calculations, my screen will draw about 4.2A. I am going to design the circuit around a 10A rated adjustable timer relay I have found for £32. https://www.altecautomotive.co.uk/timer-relay-fully-adjustable-12-volt--------braltt40205-1-09brbr-1614-p.asp My next questi...

Are my mirrors 'Non-standard'
