Though handy, a relay is not necessary in a two switch situation. My
bird is rigged with grip top buttons at P-1 and a rocker at P-2. The
difference is that I have them tied into a diverter switch. Switch is
in one position when P-1 is in control and in the other position when
P-2 has the A/C. Switch is just above the rocker switch, so P-2 has no
trouble switching the system. A lot cheaper than the relay, and less
troublesome...
