Installing kill switch !

[git]

So i got one of these switches im being told to hook it up to the battery so it cuts power ? im very new to all this so any help would be great ,and bare with me i can be a little slow ha , im guessing ill need extra cable so what type ? and how to break the circuit. As said i havent a clue where to start so thanks in advance ! oh and also i have the pull cord to put in the wing if that matters ...................

just break the positive battery cable and join

each end to each terminal on the switch

make sure that the heavy lead from the alternator is connected to the

battery side of the switch otherwise when the switch is turned off

the car will stay running.

Il show you how its done! I did it on mine, need to cut the altinator feed & battery positive on the one circuit as said above..

Give me a ring when you want to know il show you, also get some welding cable its about €8 a meter, Intertool on the sundrive road will have it, tell them what your doing!

i never put a kill switch on the positive circuit. always on the negative.

you should never put a kill switch on the positive circuit. always on the negative.

what happens if you crash with another car, metal to metal will you not get earth/negitive from there car or does it have to be from the one battery to compleat the circuit to have power if you get me??

Anybody that told me when i did mine was break the positive... :S

It dosent make a difference which side ya switch if your simply using it as a battery isolator, i would mostly switch earth too for the reason you stated above. BUT a motorsport spec isolator switch has more functions,yes it kills battery power,but it also prevents engine run on and damage to electrical circuits when power is abruptly cut.All of this has to be switched positive to work.

You should bring it to a mechanic or someone who knows what there doing.

Sorry for the spam git but it had to be said.
