There are two different paths you can take with a cut-off switch. The easiest and least expensive is a simple on/off switch unit. (I have one for sale in the for sale section) this will be the easiest to install with both wiring and location. It will only disconnect the battery for maintenance, hence locating in trunk (near battery) is the norm. It will “ NOT” Shut off a running car because the cars Wiring harness will just look to the alternator for power and continue to run And switching this switch off with the engine running can cause a dangerous surge and damage electrical components. But for isolation it works just fine. If you want something that will safely shutdown a running car, go to the Pegasus Website (#4430) and purchase their unit. A lot more wiring is involved and locating it has limitations due to all the wiring involved. But it will shutdown a running car safely. Most cars just use the isolation switch. Easy as pie...
