I am trying to wire 2 standard 12v 40 amp automotive-type SPDT relays in parallel to increase the amperage. I know it's not the best option but it's a quick fix I need to do for something.
1 relay works fine but when the second relay is connected, neither relay works. I can connect all the wires to the second relay but anytime both of the coil connections are hooked up (85 and 86), thats when both relays do nothing.
I've done this in the past with no problem with a different brand (but same type) of relay.
Does anyone know what may be causing this? I am in desperate need for some quick assistance on this.
ANY help is much appreciated!!!
