The joystick kit his friend bought includes relays from the link above. It's the "Control Harness" vs. "Straight Harness" which changes the price from $35 to $100 on the kit his friend bought.The impression I got is that he's trying to replicate his buddie's setup and just bought the actuator and joystick, and is installing it all himself.

I doubt microswitches will handle the load this actuator may want, which is why I suggested measuring the amps first quickly before he destroys the switches on his new stick.
Check out your auto parts store; they might have the relay you need. if you can't find a 50A relay, then you could try something smaller, but you need to fuse the same size (ex: 20A relay, 20A fuse). Needs to be Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) - if it doesn't have 5 terminals, it's not the right one.Here's some relays that would work. You could try doing it without the relays first and see if your 10A fuse blows. if it doesn't, then good deal, done. If it does, then you need the relay setup, and I wouldn't go less than 25A on the relays & fuses; I think 50A is a safe bet.Going to make up wires tonight on a timeline snows a coming. Might need the relay drawing if this won't cut it.
