    Where's a source for GOOD switches?

    I bought a cheap toggle switch at Pep Boys for my Cool Shirt and it works, but it's so stiff it pulls itself out of the mounting if I'm not careful. The toggle switches that came with the car have a much more positive action.

    Who makes the good ones, and where's a good source for them?

    Use a smaller switch to energize a relay for it. A relay can handle the current of a pump much better than a switch.

      I'm not electrically savvy enough to deal with relays. I was wondering more about the action of the actual switch. This one is stiff and crappy.
