Elementary electronics nitrous wiring question I am wiring 2 solenoids and need some advice. Would it be better to run the 12v to the solenoids:
1. One from each of the "87" outlets on the relay.
2. Only use one 87 and splice a second wire into the primary to power each.
3. Run the solenoids in series ie. - run the power from the relay to the input on solenoid one. Run the out from solenoid one to the in on the solenoid two. Run the out on solenoid two to a ground.
Sorry for a silly question, but I can't figure out wich one would work best. Thanks for any input.

"never run noids in series" That is one of the big ones I was looking for. I will splice it like has been suggested by EVERYONE so far. Sounds like that is the best bet. Thanks for the quick replies and great help folks!
