I still recomend making a lamp to plug into the motor's two connectors to help you see what is going on without the chance of damaging the motor.
Using aux relays to reduce the current through the switches is possible, but have you seen those two realys somewhere. Also, with out making a logic diagram to verify, using normally open for aux relays would mean those two relays need to be hot when the motor is NOT running....not a good design.
Redoing the factory wiring so that the headlights do not light until the buckets are opening was on my wish list
