Fuel cut switch directions.. in english

I took a look at that fuel cut switch in the archives from that paul guy.. and basicly it made no sence to me.. looks like it was made for someone that knows alittle about electronics..

I remember seeing one around that looked like just a couple of wires going to a fuse in the inside fuse box.. with a toggle switch.. how is this done.. or any other way.. or just in a more user friendly way..

Put your head in the drivers foot area and look for a black relay with a yellow harness going to it up near the steering column (its the only one). Pull it down so you can work on it. About 3in away from the harness, cut the black/white wire. Its the top middle wire of the harness (from wire side). Now, find a place to put your 2pole switch. Take 2 lengths of wire, attach each wire to the different poles on the switch. Run the other ends of the wire to where the relay is. Use 2 butt connectors (NO TWISTING THE ENDS TOGETHER!) to connect 1 wire to the black/white going into the harness, and the other wire to the b/w wire going away from the harness. Youll figure out when you try to start your car which position is on and which is off.

Questions?

ok so the idea is, Cut that black/w white stripe. now run that one wire to a switch, now run from the switch back to where the original wire was cut heading into the yellow connector..

if so.. why do you have 6 wires?

Different components of the system. You only need to cut the b/w wire to make the switch work.

ok.. so before i do the trick.. one more time

Cut the black wire with white stripe.. run one side to toggle switch.. then run the next one back into the other side that you cut..
No fuses needed?
