Though it can handle the current for stop/tail/turn lights, it can not handle all of them together.. So I bypassed it by soldering on some more ground and tying it to a good frame bolt nearby.
One SOLID hookup.
My problme was feedback killing my cruse control and left turn signal it was that bad.. Works great now.
