you might smile with my ignorance, however I must report that I used the half moon relay as described in the 'how to Articles' page, and the switches just get very hot with 18 V - 6 Amps.  They get so hot to a point that their plastic parts melt down. The grease I used on the half moon disk and relays gets so hot that it burns and when I open the hatch of the tank it smells like a burnt hamburger! I then replaced them with brass switches, but they still get hot.
What am I doing wrong?
