Re: 1991 Spider starting

I know that this is NOT the case on my GTV6, and even if it were, a relay 
would still be handy, since the same amount of current is going through the 
switch regardless of which side of the drop it's on.  (My GTV6 doesn't have 
a relay, if that helps--I didn't read the original post.)
