Battery Relocation Question

.My kill switch will cut the car off when you turn it off.My car kills all the power even the alternator with out all the relays

Can you elaborate on how it's hooked up? If all you do is break the battery lead THE CAR WILL STILL RUN on the alternator

.I never seen any thing happen to a car from a wiring problem even in a crash.

Boy, I have, and with the internet, it's not all that hard. All you need is a minor fender bender which ruptures a fuel line AND NOTHING TO SHUT OFF the electric pump.

Also you will have a welder back there in a crash if metal touches any thing on the relay.

The whole idea is to mount stuff to minimize this, and what some guys are advocating by running a separate "start" relay is that this gets the "running" wire going up front down to a smaller size which can be easily fused---the no8/ no6 "charging lead."

I have been running my wires down the left side inside the cars for 35 years with no problems.I just think that is the persons choice Mark

Lots of people did/ do this, including me, years ago. But it's not the 35 years you were OK, it's the ONE IN A MILLION situation, crash/ etc that causes someone to burn to death.

As much as I hate some of the stuff NHRA has done, this is one area that has been changed by "proof of mistakes."
