Hi all
Been trying to wire a switch into the starter relay circuit as a anti theft prevention. So I figured I could cut into the wire which feeds power from the crank position on the ignition barrel which goes to position 85 on the starter relay , so I wired a switch in as above. the switch has three terminals supply which comes from ignition barrel a load which I wired back down to position 85 on starter relay and an earth which I wired to a good earth I tested for continuity across the switch which weirdly didn't show that the switch was actually switching so I took the new switch off checked for switching still the same so I figured it might have summit to do with the earth once battery was connected . Put switch back on connected the battery turned her over she started but frazzled the wires to the switch ( plus it didn't matter if the switch was on or off) . Any help would be much appreciated . Also how do you figure out the correct wire sizes of the 300tdi wiring diagrams .
