Another Kill switch question

[RobDET]

How are you suposed to wire the thing? do you 'kill' the + or - battery cable? I have one coming hopefullt tomorrow i'm just curious to know what i'm in for.

[goldollar]

Tap it into your ignition, and there you go, dont ask me where the ignition wie is, thats where a wiring diagram comes into place.

[RobDET]

can't be ignitoion. it's suposed to run off the batt. It goes in the back of the car near the relocated battery

Yea, its also not called a kill swich, thats where the confusion is coming in.

I believe he is saying he is getting a Battery Disconnect Switch. You must mount it on the rear of the car...it goes inline of the battery wire...you'll see, its straight forward...you run the cable, get it all setup, then cut it, attatch one end to one connector, and the other end to the other...like any switch.

oh ok, im stupid, i was thinking you were talking about a kill switch as in car theft protection.

[slw240sx]

whats the purpose of cuttin off the battery? making the car un startablE?

[RobDET]

the track just require a "kill witch" it is really a battery cutoff switch. And according to the instructions (better than i though) it just goes on the + battery cable between the batt and everything else.

[slw240sx]

so it will do nothing but screw the altenator up when you kill the system!

[I H8 UR DSM]

uh no...

figure when you crash your car on the track...the car will stop running (stall), but the power will still be going through it...as it pours gas and oil all over the track (the key is still turned to the on position), this way they can run up, switch off the power so no fuel pump running, or chance of a spark motor trying to turn over or anything. Its a safety precaution. But yea, you shouldnt just turn it off when the car is running.

[slw240sx]

what happens when you crash and it takes the switch clean off the back of the car ?

[RobDET]

you can only be prepaired for a finite number of disasters. If it takes off the back of the car the battery is no longer attached anyway so you are golden.
