Default Re: Cut off switch

All good ideas but I was thinking of how track personnel would turn it off in an emergency, in back it’s easy but not wanting to run big cables to front. I’ve been thing about the solenoid thing too but didn’t want it egauged while in use.

Just use a on-off switch with a negative or positive wire hooked to the solenoid. It can be a 14 gauge wire, The wire connects to the small studs on the solenoid. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't cut the negative side. If you have a wreck and the wire gets cut and goes to ground the relay won't shut off.

Absolutely !. Rule book also specifies interrupting the positive side only.
