So I lost power on the highway the other day. No warning, had been running great, just shut right off and wouldn't restart. On a whim, used a piece of speaker wire I found on the floor, and jumped the fuel cutoff solenoid to the battery, and it fired right up. Fiddled with the connector with no luck, so power clearly isn't getting to it. Does anyone have a wiring diagram of the ignition system? I assume it could be the ignition switch (though everything else functions normally, don't know if there is a dedicated pin for the shut off, or if it should just be powered by the same "key on" pin as everything else. Or is there a fusible link somewhere between there?
I'm thinking my best bet is to slap a toggle switch on the dash with a 4 amp fuse and run the shutoff solenoid off that. Is there any reason not to do this?
