  1. Why would you have to cut power too your alternator when the fuse box is what supplies power to the ECU and the rest of your components? The car would cut off anyways with the alternator going with it.

  2. So a kill switch is a drastic measure that's even riskier if you have a tune? Maybe make a vid on how to program a button that loads a pre-made tune onto the ecu? 😀

  3. Next how to install killswitch on old diesel vehicles, I don't have any but I think some people might need it.

    I've seen a few runaway diesel in person and it was pretty scary, I can imagine how those driver feel when they saw the engine roaring even if the ignition isn't even turned on

  4. Personally if I had a track car I would put a kill switch on both sides of the car so if there was a rollover you could access a kill switch no matter what side the car was on

  5. I sometimes think I know all there is to know about a subject when I get an introduction to something 😂

    I cannot believe how much I learned, watching this video, especially things about crimping tools, and how to test a crimp and also understanding about the alternator and ECU power and resistor.

    I learned about
    1.terminal end identification markings
    2. 3 types of crimping tools and why
    3. What a good and bad crimp looks like inside
    And much more!
    Thanks Chris for the next level of my continuing education.

  6. One critique for this video: If you install the alternator positive on the same post as the fuse block, your engine will not kill as the alternator will keep it alive. You should have the alternator cable ran to the same post as the battery positive thus removing all sources of power from the engine and fuel system in the event of an emergency. Otherwise great video!

  7. Chris Fixx has been a teaching tool in our high school Auto Tech I & II for several years now. Young students tend to listen to a young sounding voice. Especially when the in class instructor is 67.

  8. If I just want a kill switch on a vehicle i dont drive everyday and is not a track car/race car, and all I want to do is just kill the power from the battery can I just use a simple 2 pole switch on the positive wire?

  9. Can you install the kill switch on the neutral (black) cable? Since I don’t have any regulations I think it will be simpler
