An interposing relay is not necessary unless the replacement pads draw more current than the switch is rated for. If the replacements have the same (or greater) resistance as the OEMs, relays would just add complexity and lessen reliability.


Edit:
To OP: You can get an approximation of current draw by dividing the Watts by 12 (Volts). EG, if the pad is rated at 36W, it will pull ~3A.
