the other option, instead of diodes, is run both off 2 diff spikes and have the 2 outputs on a spike ( M+ and M- ) connected to the positives on a solenoid ( one spike per solenoid ) the negatives from the solenoid are crimped togeather and run to the gnd on the spike (you will have to make sure you crimp another wire with them to run to the gound on the breaker panel) and have an on/off switch programed to the main one and have a push button ( arcade style ) programed for the exaust one.
