    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.

    Be careful as to what type switch your using. If your using a standard battery isolator switch when turned off while engine is running will cause a voltage spike and could cause harm your alternator and other electronics in the car like engine ecu etc.

    Get a motorsport type switch which has 4 spade connections on the bottom aswel as your main battery connections. They come supplied with a resistor and a wiring diagram,you'll need this switch if its a competition spec car and for obvious electrical safety reasons...

    i 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

    i know what your saying alright. i dont know which is right or which is wrong exactly. i just dont like the idea of having 8ft of un-fuze'd positive cable running through the car. in the event of a bad crash if it gets caught, or cut and earths you have a fire, or exploded battery. where if the negative gets cut or torn and hits the body it just earths anyway. if i was killing the posative terminal i would put a large fuse right at the battery.
