I must have it hooked up wrong. When I have the truck running and when I go to turn the key to the off position, it won’t shut off, and my battery is completely discharged after a while. I have a universal key switch that is probably hooked up wrong too. If anyone can help that would be great! [email protected] | | |

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

You might want to check MAD Electrical's website. This is a very good source of electrical information. http://madelectrical.com | | |
