zombieblues Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So the car came with no key and the ignition was set up with a metal rod to turn the car on and off. I didn't like it so I stripped the switch down and installed a flip switch and push button. Everything works but gets real hot. Like a short. Could it be that I am using too low of am amp switch/button? I am going to rip all the wiring out and rewire as much as possible to find the potential short/cleanup/weight reduction. Just wondering if anyone out there knows of a good switch I can buy for this purpose. I had bought the original swith from oreillys and it broke from heat and being bumped. Any help is awesome. You guys all rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
