I have been around for a little while just looking and learning.I need some help with my battery relocation kit. It has turned out to be a bit more confusing than I thought.I have a 1996 Mustang GT, with bolt ons.First off, I will tell you what parts I bought for the swap; and where I have looked for information.Here is the URL to the article I read to get me started. Also, I would like you to make note that I have decided to do this because my black wire (ground I'm guessing) is corroded out.<a href="http://www.mustang50magazine.com/projectbuild/m5lp_0210_1989_ford_mustang_trunk_mounted_battery/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.mustang50magazine.com/projectbuild/m5lp_0210_1989_ford_mustang_trunk_mounted_battery/index.html</a>As you can tell, I don't know ANYTHING about my car's electrical system outside of the fact that you can put diluted baking soda on your battery terminals to keep the corrosion off.I do not really need to relocate the starter solenoid if I do not have to. Obviously it doesn't look too bad.So, now its time to let you know how far I've gotton.I've bought the Moroso battery box, the kill switch, and that's it.I have not bought any wiring, new terminals, or any other supplies simply because I can't tell what I need and how much I need it.So, if anyone who has done this before could give me a few pointers, I would be much appreciative.I plan on buying (from <a href="http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog.shtml</a>) the battery relocation help kit Part #TM-2, the battery terminals, and anything else the guy who runs that shop suggests. (I've called him, but he speaks FAR above my head.)I've taken out my battery and tray. It looks like the ground wire runs down, under the car and it feels like it connects to the engine block. Is this correct? Is this the only place it connects, other than the car body and the battery terminal? The red wire splits off multiple times, once to the fuse box, once to my subwoofers, and once off into my electrical wires everywhere all over my engine bay. Are these the only places the black and red wires run?Also, what are the NHRA Rules on the kill switch? It says to interrupt the positive (red.) I asked the guy who runs Mad Electrical and he says that that's useless, and more dangerous than anything. I tested it myself and the car does not stop running when i take off the red side of the battery. What is the point? Is it SUPPOSED to stop the motor? Why do I need the kill switch? Is it to simply prevent the power from running AFTER an accident on the track AFTER the motor has already died? Does it have to stop the engine? What will they do in Tech at the track? :TY: Thanks Guys (and Gals) After I get a little help on this, I'll be sure to take lots of pictures so everyone can tell me what I did wrong. lol</blockquote>
