Battery relocated to trunk, inertia switch?

You have a link, part no. etc? Or even post a photo?

It is a Parallax BR100

Interestingly, it says a latching switch to control the relay is ok. Maybe I don't need to worry about the inertia switch closing a 12v circuit for only a short time.

Part of the reason I wanted something like this is because I wanted a relay that if I hit "lock" a couple of times with the fob, it just keeps opening the relay. The Painless one would toggle between open and closed each time you hit it.

Any inertia switches (that is OEM) are "latched closed" and open a circuit. So that would require a relay (or transistor etc) to invert, etc not sure how you'd implement that. Same problem, "draw on shutoff" Adding more circuit adds to possible failure, and defeat the purpose.

Yeah, not exactly sure how I would get past the "latched closed" issue other then a theory that they could be used in a normally open setup. The switches I have looked at have 3 pins, but only 2 are used. I am hoping the third unused pin could be used to close a circuit. Planning to snag one at the wrecking yard to play with this weekend to see if it is true.
