I’m going to be wiring mine right near the terminal block and was hoping to eliminate the terminal block since it seems pointless to me to have a six inch wire from the kill switch to the terminal block instead of just eliminating the terminal block altogether.
I just wanted to run the connections by you guys first before I start hacking things up. I’m going to disconnect the big wire at the terminal block (one big wire in and three wires out (1 big, two small)) and connect them to the big lugs on the kill switch. The two smaller wires at the terminal block (DME power?) are wired into the spade connectors such that the alternator -> DME works normally but when the switch is opened/shut off, the engine side goes through the switch, to the resistor, and then grounds to the shock tower.
Does this make sense?[/quote]
Nope. Gotta draw a diagram.
You lost me when you said “alternator -> DME” and next you talked about engine side and ground.
I don’t know that I’d bother with the resister nor the ground. Almost no one does that, to include (I think) the OEM design.
Obviously there’s two lines coming from the battery. As long as your kill switch cuts both lines and there’s no route directly from alternator to DME, it’ll work.
Re. your signature. Don’t be sorry. Your struggles for social acceptance, for the slightest gesture of affection from the opposite sex were not in vain.
Hmm. Ok, well maybe they were. That is sad indeed.
