Gotta have 4 doors..... Rawhide, TOTY 2023!
Sounds like a good plan, thanks again!

Can someone please explain as I genuinely do not understand how the coil can be insensitive to polarity and still move in the required direction wired either way? (I was trying a four pin relay as a fuel pump relay that could be inserted in the board in two possible orientations - which would be opposing polarities for the coil - and couldn't figure it out).Relays are not polarity sensitive, so it's up to you how to run power and ground. The standard is to use terminals 30 and 85 for (+) and 86, 87, and 87a as (-) even though the diagram below shows 86 as power and 85 as ground.
Preventing arcing across the switch - and protecting ECUs that are switching. But, does the presence of such a diode not make the relay coil polarity sensitive?really good relays (actual bosch, a few reputable Bosch clones like hella etc) will have a fly back circuit built in so the collapsing magnetic field in the coil gets shunted to ground instead of going back up and arcing the switch contacts.

I can identify with everything you wrote, especially regarding the bad habits, such as rent, electricity, etc.No, still sorting out the relay, wiring,etc. Not being currently employed except for swap meets isn't helping! I have another show on Saturday that hopefully will add to the funds(rent is due on Thursday so that's going to take a hit on the wallet!).
What I want to do is get a relay with a bracket on it, so I can mount it under the hood. Was going to use a fuel pump relay as it has the right pinouts, but no bracket on it and no pigtail available either....
What really sucks about this project, is my cousin that we lived with for a while, is an electrical genius and could whip up a harness, switch, relay , etc. in very little time, but we are are no longer in contact because of why we don't live with him anymore. I could collaborate with him on a couple of electronic lighting ideas I have for my trucks, and we could make them, if his wife didn't have so much control over him.....
