I have to wire in kill switches.

I have word it in And it still runs when you kill the switch !!

I need to try send work out where the feed is coming from, I have already got the alternator wiring going through the isolator.

Still got to change all the oils, make the front bumper stronger, fit the new graphics, clean it, and bolt everything back together !! I have a day...

Mine doesn't, but I can't honestly remember how I wired it up.

I considered putting the coil on a relay, then putting the engine block earth on a relay, the fuel pump on a relay, and having the kill switch control those relays - but I can't remember what I did in the end. I think Scottie (HPOC edition Scottie) may have done it for me...

I didn't put everything on relays in the end because I was worried one of them might fail and leave me at the side of the road...

Silly really, considering how reliable relays (especially solid state relays) are these days.

how are you controlling things? you could put your main battery feed, and your alternator feed on a heavy duty relay, so the kill switch just isolated all power sources?
