Battery

I have a drain on my battery somewhere. I'd like to put a kill switch for the battery. Is there a wiring diagram or a how to somewhere on here? I've looked with no luck. Thanks

Re: Battery

Simplest way to do it right here.
Just an example. Likely available at any parts store.

Re: Battery

Why not find the drain and solve the problem.

Re: Battery

I use that quick disconnect that Geezer mentions. Use it on 2 of my trucks. Works great.

Re: Battery

Thanks I'll go through both threads. I want the kill switch for security too. But primarily right now for the draw. I'll track the draw down too.
