questions about battery disconnect wiring
Mine is probably a little complicated but it works and the car dies with the disconnect and no power goes past the switch after that.
Battery To 4 pole disconnect
Disconnect has two wires off of the large lug,
One wire goes to the front of the car for power distribution
One wire goes to a ford style solenoid in the trunk, that has a lead to the starter
I use a solenoid off of a Jeep that works with the stock style neutral safety switch(requires ground to start).
Up front the alternator feed goes to a Cole hersey solenoid then into my power distribution. I have the solenoid operated off of keyed ignition that runs through the small poles on my disconnect switch. When you kill the disconnect it kills the solenoid and in turn kills the car.
I only use the stock wiring for the lights and wipers, everything engine related is run off of the Megasquirt controller.
