Battery cut off switch

CRACKEDBACK: I get what you are saying so if i was going to change my "simple way" over to your "complete" way.

Do I just follow it as drawn or do I need to change anything since I don't have a 1 wire Alt.


I have done the "EASY" way for years and on alot of cars. I have never had a problem but I am open to new and improved ways. I do like the idea that when it is cut then it is 100% dead.

I've said it before, the thing I don't like about crackedback's diagram is that anytime the battery switch is on, so is one solenoid. This may not be a big deal on a race-only car, but to me, it's a big deal on a street car. I don't want to park my car for a day, and come back and find the battery dead because I happened to leave the switch on. Also, those solenoids DO occasionally fail, so it would be a good idea to fuse the control wiring.
