hey all,
on our 83 ranger build, we are nearing the time to start to place all the cab's interior together. now that i still have the dash apart and easy access to all the wiring harness, i want to wire in a secondary ignition switch to help prevent theft.
IE: both switches (key and push) need to be activated at the same time to get power to the starter relay.
Question is.... where is the best place to splice in this second switch? at the key's wires, the starter? the relay? and should this secondary be fused? if so what size?
this build is a V8 conversion, with dual batteries and electric fan. one batt for starting only and other for all other stuff. already own the dual batt splitter and goodies.
thanks for reading, and any info grateful.
