Questions & Answers

Is this able to handle the load involved in running a residential garbage disposal system?

There is a maximum output of 10A from this unit. If the garbage disposal is on its own breaker, it should have a 15A rating. If on the same breaker as the dishwasher, it should have a 20A rating.

This is a great switch to use on the floor of a vehicle

5/5

I use the HornBlaster Train horns for my truck and it works very well. By connecting the switch to both my stock horn and the switch from the switch module, I can have both of them. There are two ways to use the stock horn without the switch, and with the switch + the train horn.
