Will running two relays in parallel reduce the amount of amps being drawn to power a component... one relay has 30 amps running through it when activated, will two have15ish each?
What I thought was a solenoid problem with my exhaust brake turned out to be a relay that had arc'd enough times that it finally welded it self closed and would not release - thus locking my e-brake closed. I have replaced both relays (one to close it, another to hold it closed).
What I am thinking is that if I have two relays on each of the actions, there should be less amps running through each one and less likely to arc themselves to death.
