Battery in Trunk wiring completed, now no power at all

I guess you are not wiring this to go to the track then, but just for personal use?

Because in this drawing,there is about 15 ft of welding cable going to the front of the car which is live at all times.A short anywhere along it's length could be a major problem.

That set up is 100% legal to go to any NHRA track.

The battery cable to the starter IS NOT live in that schematic except when the key is in the start position.

It's not the way I like to do it, but, it works.
