Kill switch

Here are some details on the kill switch. I followed echo-francis' lead so thanks go to him for leading the way. I found that the wire coding on my older Echo was not the same as his. The fuel injector power wire on the older one is a black wire with a red tracer and comes through the front corner pin. Installed relay as shown. Yellow relay wire is the coil ground and goes to the switch.


Did this mod with stuff I already had so it was free but making the switch fit was a bit of work. Didn't want to just tied on so took the time to mount the switch into the handle. Grounded the switch under the console.



So far it's been working perfectly, way better than using the key switch.
