[QUOTE="7xray, post: 467349, member: 7870"] Thanks Ponyfool, Ionbeam and all the others for the good information about the ignition switch problem. One way to give some security for the "temporary" fix would be to use a key switch instead of a toggle switch. Like this from [URL="https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=105832"]Jameco[/URL] Those of you that live in the land of electronics parts stores can probably find one at Fry's etc. The switch from Jameco is rated at only 6 amp and I seem to remember somebody saying the load is around 20 amp so you could add a relay, such as [URL="https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=171433"]this[/URL]. I'm not sure how or where to put this mechanically but it could even go under the seat by running a couple of wires up to the ignition switch. I can gin up a schematic later when I get to another computer if anybody needs. Cheers, 7X [/QUOTE]
