FYI. New Battery
Disconnect Switch(pics)

3:33
PM 7/18/2002

Following that thread on battery disconnect
switches about 10 days ago, I ordered one from JC Whitney. It
is a guillotine affair, pretty simple but reasonably sturdy. I
installed it this evening as you can see in the second pic.
The starter cranks well so there does not seem to be a loss
across the switch. And it does not heat up. The price was
$22.99US.

I bought it basically as one more theft deterrent as I have
several already. I do recognize that it disables my factory
alarm but the use of the switch and under what circumstances
is a nice choice to have. As to the clock and radio pre-sets;
the former does not work and the latter I have none.

So there you are. One more little experiment .

This is the only way I could see to configure it.

Paul,
Thanks, I was looking for something
just like that. I saw one at our local Advance Auto parts
store, but was not sure it would work. I'm going shopping
tomorrow. Good pictures too.

If it
ain't broke then I guess I'm not done yet.
