The main feed wire to the coil is 1.5mm.
Typically, a 1.5mm wire is rated at 10amps.
So your switch would need to be rated at 10amps, just in case.
You could use a spare dash switch.
Immobiliser wired in, in plain site.

Anything roughly 10A or more will be fine.

Hi guys, many thanks for the replies. I will do this, as it seems a good deterent to do cheaply, and fairly easily. As you say, could leave in sight or hide location.Regards Lloyd
