Wiring diagram for Battery relocation and Master Kill switch
 
H-t'ers,

Need some help:
Before I run any wiring i want to be sure that this diagram is correct...

Please let me know if something looks wrong or what needs to be done to make it work right.

It can be alot easier then that. Just run the wire from the switch up to the dis block and have your starter and the shore wire from your fuse block go to the dis block. Keep the long wire running from the fuse block over the alt as is. That is how I did mine and it seems to work

So your saying I have extra steps on mine? Do you think it will still work...? I'm having a lil trouble following what your saying about the long wire and the alt...

Anyone else?
Thank you!

You have two wires going to your fuse block. The one is short and goes to the battery take that and put it to your dis block. The other wire is long and is tied into the harness and runs over to your alt. If you break the power to the fuse block the wire going to the alt will not have power and will shut the car off.

Does anyone know how to do this but have another switch that can disable the switch in the rear of the car for a daily driver purpose?

SlepT ej6 05-11-2007 09:08 AM

Just take off the knob.....

BOT: i guess imma probably start wiring tomorrow and hopefully all is fine..

Any other ideas or comments guys?

Re: (SlepT ej6)
 
Im using the moroso switch where the knob isnt readily removeable if removeable at all that I know off.

Re: (SlepT ej6)
 
To anyone still using the stock fuse box in the engine bay, are you running a wire to each terminal from the kill switch, or just one wire?

This is the way i did mine, and i works fine, I guess it depends wether or not your kill switch has separte little poles for the alternator wire, wich mine did!!!

tepid1 05-15-2007 01:58 PM

Re: (SlepT ej6)
 
Your alt and battery need to be on the same pole. As you picture sits you car would still run off of the alt.

As Far as i can tell this should be the easiest way to do it if you dont have a kill switch with 4 poles!!!

grand champ 05-15-2007 02:11 PM

Re: (tepid1)
 
The way my switch is the 2 poles are the same as eachother on oppiste sides the same way the pic is, I guess that would just require a test light to see how your switch functions!!!

To be honest I'm tired of seeing this question be asked and asked again.

Here it is.... I call it race car power distribution for dummies 101. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...fordummies.jpg

Just do it this way.... it works.

That looks like the way I did it except I left my alt going to the relay box. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

The relay that controls your ECU and such is in the relay box. For my understanding the alt will still power that and not kill the car. On top of that how's it going to charge the battery?

Re: Wiring diagram for Battery relocation and Master Kill switch (tepid1)
 
if you cut the power to the blk/yel going to the alternator it wont charge. i see what you are saying. if the alternator is spining and the white wire is still powering the underhood fuse box, it should still power the car(and power the blk/yel, which allows the alt to "turn on"), even with the switch in the off postion.

Re: Wiring diagram for Battery relocation and Master Kill switch (dturbocivic)
 
Agreed and I've also mentioned that many times before in other threads.

Re: Wiring diagram for Battery relocation and Master Kill switch (tepid1)
 
i add'd more to my previous post. lol https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

i agree with you... the alt does need to go to the bat.

tepid1 05-16-2007 04:58 AM

Re: Wiring diagram for Battery relocation and Master Kill switch (dturbocivic)
 
You are right and wrong all in the same paragraph Dave....

Even though the alt is spinning doesn't mean that it's charging.

If you remove 14v from the black/yellow wire it cuts the output of the alt. No matter if it feeds the relay box or not. The relay box will deenergize and will cut power to everything else in the car.

Anyone ever loop the power lead for your inline pump to the master cut-off? I was thinking about this while installing my Flaming River 2 circuit cutoff. Seems easiest and the pump gets its power from the battery. Car will definetly not run without power at the pump.

Yes I have. I took power from the non-hot side aka the switched side. Actually that's how it is in my car right now except it doesn't exactly cut my Eliminator pump. It cuts off the Aeromotive fuel pump controller which cuts the pump out.

Re: (SlepT ej6)
 
Here is how I set mine up using a heavy duty solenoid/relay.

I used 4 gauge wiring for the battery, alternator, starter, and from the solenoid to the fuse box.

The OEM fusebox is fused so you don't need to add one inline.

With the solenoid, I was able to use a minimal amount of heavy 4 gauge wiring. From the solenoid to the kill switch I used 18 gauge wire.
