Hello ... After many problems with the starter relay, I put a switch (I do not want to bridge the contacts with a metal key all the time). I see a temporary measure until the new relay ... Am I right? Or will I have a problem as long as I use it?

Well..a relay or contactor is used to bridge an electrical connection between to contacts where the load has a high amp draw. Most switches are not designed to take that much load and will weld it's contacts together along with burn internal parts. So, unless you find a switch that can handle 25 -30 amps + and is "momentary"..meaning once you let go it opens, I would not do it.

Thanks for your quick answer. You ar right for 20-30 amps. So far, the switch was not destroyed... Yet!. I am waiting to receive the spare part...

What switch are you using? So people can know and have that option.
