I purchased a bulk lot of rocker switches for my interior cockpit lights, electric fuel pump etc. I guess I should of researched a little before I bought them. I think they will be fine for lights etc, Not sure about the electric fuel pump.

Specs: Rating:6A 250V/10A 125V AC
Mini rocker switches Black

Any thoughts From the electrical gifted?

Also. have many extra if anyone can use any.

Just use a relay to do the higher amp switching.

It depends on the fuel pump. I have a 5 amp fuse in mine and have never blown it so the load is less than 5 amps.

They will work with any fuel pump that would be appropriate for the GMC.

Thanks guys! I was thinking pump might take a higher switch. Glad to hear I can use them for everything I need. will keep the install neat.

Again if anyone needs any I have more then I can use. Free to a good home just pay the postage.
