pick a wire that is going to or from the item you wanna be able to kill and snip the wire, strip back both ends and one end attaches to one end/prong of the switch and the other wire to the other prong on the switch. Done.

Thats prviding your using a single pole double throw switch.

Cheers

yes wire up the thing you want to be able to switch, so that it has positve and negative, then you cut a wire (positve wire prefered) and put your switch in there, that way the switch can break the circuit when needed.

I'm going to assume you mean a "master kill" that would shut the whole system off in case of an accident. If you interrupt the big-assed ground wire going from the battery to the chassis/engine but don't isolate the alternator, the car will keep running. Well, until it pops the diodes in the alternator. The Chickenhawk had this problem because I was too cheap to buy the master kill with alternator protection. Having said all of that, I must admit that I don't remember how the alternator is supposed to be wired in, sorry. Looking back on this post, I've pretty much wasted every one's time. Sorry about that.
