I've got a slow drain in my battery. My guess is that it's from the 911 dash installed by a previous owner. After about a week, the car may or may not start. Is anyone out there using a battery cut off switch? There are a lot for sale, but many look similar and several have some bad reviews.
Thanks |

I got this for my car:

As simple as it gets, but you do have to open the engine cover every time. Leverage Mark's "hot start relay" idea: Ford starter solenoid in the battery line with a SPST switch hidden under the dash. Switch off, battery solenoid open. Switch on, battery solenoid closed. That's what I do on one of my race cars. And a replacement is easy peasy to find, should I need it. |
