Topic: Need help with Kill Switch
Ok folks, feel free to flame but I need some help with a kill switch with a car that is unfamiliar to me.
Car - 1984 Nissan 300zx; assume nothing is original … except for the ignition maybe. Engine is from a Nissan Xterra I believe. If this was on our camaro that is a "two wire" car I would have this solved already...
Anyways...
- Kill Switch in the off position - Car will not start / accessories /dash etc will not have power.
- Kill Switch in On position - Car starts
Car Running:
- Kill Switch in off position, car remains running.
Here is the picture of the back of the kill switch and a "high tech" schematic I put together. in the same orientation
Trouble shooting to date: We removed the "mystery" wire, and the car will not start nor will the accessories (dash board lights etc) turn on when key is turned to ON/START in ignition. This makes me believe its the main power for the ignition...however I am unable to trace it as it gets lost in a rats nest of wires.
The wire on the battery side that goes into the RL-44 relay has three additional wires that go into/are connected to said relay - unable to trace. I am not sure Which exact switch this is, but a similar one calls for a ignition in/ out on the spades … any idea what switch I have? If I do need an ignition in/out where do I find this wire and how does it relate to the ignition 12v that I think is already wired to the starter solenoid side?
Any help would be appreciated, I can turn a wrench but this electrical stuff makes me go crazy. Thanks.
