Default 50amp relay?

Is there a 50 amp relay, if so, what brand makes it.
Because the guy that install my alarm, said that he can install a igintion kill switch but that I needed a 50 amp relay beacause of the power of the igintion.
I tried looking for one but cant find one.

Find a new installer or tell him to quit being lazy. All you need is a standard 20/30 amp relay.

50 amps is insane! A 30 would work just fine and you can find them all over the place. A 10amp would work if you put in on the main relay's ground wire which can be found to the right of your glove compartment in your EM1. It's the small black wire.

Check out an ABB ITE-50H, they were made back in 1976 or so.

Thanks</TD></TR></TABLE> You do not need a relay on the PGM-FI Main Relay, [main relay] ground, it is a low current ground, [for injector relays coil only] less the 250mA, a small, [1A at most] SPDT, [on/off] switch will work just fine.

Cut ground lead, install switch, doing it someplace other then right at the relay is probably a good idea.

Oh yea, 50A relay, Brahahahahahahah, as mentioned, find another installer. 94
