I have a 1991 integra and I ran my battery killswitch last night and when I hooked it all back up my head lights, tail lights, dash lights, clock, radio and cigarette lighter dont work. Ive checked all my fuses under dash and in engine bay atleast twice, put a new light switch in and still nothing. I unhooked the wires I ran for my killswitch and ran it stock and they still didnt work. Im out of thoughts. Blinkers work fine and car runs fine. The voltage went down a little bit from a constant 13.9 to 13.2. Thanks for any help. I had the killswitch hooked up to just the starter before and it was fine. As soon as i hooked up the alternater it killed it all.

I have my battery ran to one post of my killswitch and the other post goes to the starter and the fuse box. I ran my alternater directly to my battery. The killswitch works great and kills all power instantly

yeah thats my next thought. Having a buddy bring over a test light tomorrow to look into the fuse box. Is that the correct way to wire the killswitch?

[QUOTE=tepid1;42682162]Look into your fuse panel for your problem. Sounds like you messed something up there....[/QUOTE
Tepid1, I ran the killswitch from a picture I found from you awhile ago. Where you said to run the alternater directly to the battery. With that wire, do you still run it to the fuse box or just the battery? Thanks

I checked my fuses and the things that are not working fuses wouldnt work. I jumped a known good fuse to the clock fuse and it worked. I put a new fuse box in and still all the same things that didnt work still dont work. Im really confused still
I would grab a meter and check to make sure u have voltage going into the fuses.. If there's none then just trace back to find the missing positive. If all is okay the trace for your negative.. Make sure all your grounds are clean. And all the bolts are tight..
If all u did was install a switch it has to be something u disconnected and didn't put back right..
