I went to an old time parts store today and they had a bunch of tractor solenoids and stuff. Latching relays look interesting, but they'd need a pretty complicated circuit to latch and unlatch from the ignition circuit.
I'm going to go through the Cole Hersee catalogue and see what they have.
In the meantime, my HG transistors just arrived today in my PO box. Going to pop them in there when I get back to Georgia.
Warning for those that run Rangers with an internal amp.

By the way thanks for the valuable lesson. The next time I jump start my vehicle I'll be disconnecting my radio

I'd venture to say that you're asking for problems putting mismatched transistors in there. Just because all four have the same part number doesn't mean the supplier put them on a curve tracer and matched them accordingly. It's possible you might get lucky with minimal IMD.
I don't care for the odds though since I'm not exactly a gambling person.Last edited: Sep 20, 2017

I got them from RF parts and they are definitely a matched set. I am a gambling person and I'll see what it does.

What you want is an auxiliary battery relay. They are rated for continuous use.
