Be VERY careful. I burned up 10g installing mine trying to do it with without a relay. The problem is not the wiring or the fuse, its the switch. The switch can't handle that much draw. The purpose of the relay is to act like a giant switch, with the actual switch switching the relay on and off......ha ha make sense?
