Battery switch


Recommended Posts

  • 3 years later...

Resurrecting this battery disconnect thread. Just looking to verify wiring plan.  Did you put the switch in the ground path even if it's positive ground like our trucks? ie. take the positive lead from the battery to the switch and then from the switch to the trans mount that the battery went to originally.... And did our trucks originally have ground straps that connected frame to cab etc.

I just painted my dash and am going to start wiring, I'm figuring there is little hope of a solid ground to gauges now that there is a new coat of paint between them.  I made up new buckets for the three bulbs (gauges and speedo), does it make sense to run additional ground wires to the gauge bodies to complete a good circuit?

Anyone find a good source of LED bulbs to refit our 6v rigs? I think the bulbs are GE 55.

I will use the cole hersee switch too, I like the idea of having a way to kill the battery

Thanks for any insight!

Jay
