Greetings E.E. Gurus!
I'm a noobie in need of your guidance!
Here's the situation:
I have a 5V DC, 0.25 amp (1.25W ?) power source from an oil pressure switch wire on an old truck that is activated only when the engine is running.
My goal is to activate a 12V DC, 2.5 amp, 30/40W relay, which will be activated continuously while the engine is running.
I have yet to take a course in electronics, and will do so in the future... but right now I have this dilemma...
I've done a bunch of reading online but have not had any luck finding the info I need to build this simple circuit...
Thank you all for your replies!
