Re: '56 Pushbutton system circuit breakers

That circuit needs a whopping 250 ma (1/4 of 1 amp) to pull in the relay coils. I ship my units with a 7 amp fuse protecting the logic side of the system, per Packard's service bulletin recommendation. I think 3A would be plenty, but the 7 will blow before all the 18 gauge wires going up your steering column will melt. I have seen, and fixed that, a few times.
