Hey Pinto5, you know what, i will try the red wire hot to battery and see what happens. didn't try that yet. how do you mean "by switched power" and one other thing that I am not sure if it means anything or not, on the starter relay there are 2 small bolts for wires, i am only hooked up to the cranking one, nothing on the second (right side) no not talking about the main starter wire.
Oh i think you mean will it start and run directly on a 100% hot feed?
will look into that also.
thanks cheers
