Hotwire harness-how to get around the 12v at start

Yes, you can do it with a relay. It will make your pink hot on both.

This is a layout as provided by american autowire. DON'T DO THIS, must change. THIS VERSION WILL BACKFEED and keep the starter running. For pin 30, use a 12v battery hot all the time wire and it will work perfect.


Yes there is a "Gap" when going from start to run. I did try it and mine works sometimes and other times it doesn't.
The pink wire on the Hotwire harness is "12 Volt Run and start. (ignition key on position)" I don't have the wiring diagram in front of me, but I believe I tried tying ign1 and ign2 together.

This is on a 73 dart, by the way.

Test light did not show a gap on mine when wired as above. Megasquirt starts and runs fine, no issues.

Don't make it more complicated than it is.
