I installed a relay with magnetic sensor kill switch based on a schematic found here. I had to modify it a little from the Jeep example, specifically the power source. After bench testing the circuit successfully, I installed it in the car and connected the relay coil to switched 12 volts on the cigar harness. Unfortunately I overlooked the behavior of accessory switched 12 volts.
Push the start button once, accessories turn on. Swipe the magnet, relay energizes. Ready to start. Nope, push the start button again to crank and accessory 12 volts drop out, the relay coil shuts off, re-enabling the kill switch.
I need a spot to tap 12 volts that comes on upon first push of button and STAYS ON while the starter is cranking.
I found one vague reference on another forum pointing to a brake circuit which makes no sense to me.
I really like the convenience and stealth of this kill switch and hope someone can point me in the right direction.
