Should be easy to do but I need to see the drawing.

And if enough interest, I can design a heater control relay board & spec
some reasonably priced parts from DigiKey.

I did the layout for the PCB shown a little ways down on this web page.

This thread brings to mind having seen somewhere something about using a
relay(relays) to reduce the load on the front heater control switch.

Anyone have a link showing this???

Thanks
