Title: Kill switch?
Post by: Dave_EH on February 22, 2006, 05:56:51 AM
Could someone please outline to me how to wire in a kill switch on a red motor - electronic ignition. Also what amp wire would be required?

Is it possible to use multiple switches?

I currently have the yellow wire from ignition running on a relay to produce 12 volts at coil.

Cheers
Dave

Basically a "kill switch" is used to isolate any main electrical component. eg ignition coil, fuel pump, ecu even.

you mention you have a relay.

take the low current positive or negative feed to the relay and place it inline here.

this prevents the relay from powering up/ or earthing thereby preventing the +ve feed to igntion.

simple.  a 6A switch should be OK.

sounds like your yellow lead powers up the relay which inturn supplies current to coil.  just put the switch in here it should be a low current cable.
