I had an engine kill switch on my 06 Canyon. It definitely helped me to get the gas mileage that I was getting. I had some battery problems, and found that it was necessary to put a battery charger on the battery about once per week. The battery charging system is designed to keep the battery properly charged when the alternator is running full time. Part time charging, as with an engine kill switch, will eventually kill the battery. I learned this the hard way.
The kill switch installation is discussed in my 06 Canyon modding thread: https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...yon-17070.html. Pay careful attention to the need for fuses in the wiring.
