Quote Some set ups (which have a key start position, 4 post key switch) would wire the #2 wire w/ a diode.??? ... yes?? to the ON/RUN post?? imput anyone..... Diode ... yes. Eliminates run-on after turning the ignition off. Quote But if (say Alan has a V8 & probably a 4 post [[acc,off,on/run,start]] key switch in his truck) then the #2 sensing wire would be connected to the ON post. That's me.
