Thanks Paul,
This was not what I meant.
Being an electric engineer, your idea surely will not be my approach,
although a cutoff switch can be handy for safety jobs.
What I remembered of some earlier threads is a faulty ignition switch, which
was leaking little current.
Does this ring a bell?
Cheers,
Hans
