Has anyone wired in a FIA Battery switch?

If so, which wires went to which connections?

Don't think so, because if the engine is running and you turn the master switch off, the engine will continue to run and possibly damage the alternator.

correct if you just fit a switch to the bat so it turns off the bat , the enginie will keep running

the switch as show above does somthing a little more ..... it cuts power to /from the alt .and also a back up with cutting the ign . so when its switched off the engine will stop and not run on :cool:

if your wondering wot the resitor is for it provides a path to diipate any stord lecky in the sys (any electrick motors still spinning create a back surge of current (aka the dynamo))
