If you're using it as a blocking diode so there will be little current flow (on the switch side of the relay), the 1A should be fine.
I would be wiring it in series with the positive terminal, but from the description it sounds like you plan on using it as a shunt? I'm not sure if that would work, would probably blow a fuse ...
