Postby Urban-Cruiser » Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:34 pm

Getting a car ready for racing/rally. But need to know about switches.

How to;

Hook up switch to starter motor,
" " " " alternator,
" " " " radiator,
A charge light to alternator,
and battery isolator.

I think that was it. :?

you run a 12V switched wire to the charge light, then from the charge light to the L spade/fitting in the alternator plug - if you're not using a factory dashboard, you have to use a light bulb which is under 5 watt rating for it to work.

how to hook up a radiator - WTF? connect the hoses to the engine.......

i joined mine to the factory one, pretty sure it splits to starter, altenator, and the main fuse box, i've never looked that closely though
