Thanks guys. The kill switch connections are soldered and then I glued the switch and wiring into place with a hot glue gun. There are no connections anywhere where the wires flex. You're right, it can cause a failure. The only place that I used butt connectors is at the relay connections, but it's tied up well and shouldn't move.
101Volts, Short and infrequent trips are really hard on batteries. I have the same problem with both my cars, especially in winter. They just don't run long enough to fully recharge the batteries and DRL's really add to the problem. With accessories running and the car running around town at low rpm's most of the time. The battery doesn't really get charged up very much. I have to trickle charge both of them in the winter, but my Rondo is really bad because it not only sees short trips, but it often sits for days in between.
