With so many accessories being added to our cars these days, there is always a small drain on the battery when the car is turned off. Many times, if the car sits for a week, the battery will go dead. This can be cured by disconnecting the battery, but who wants to be messing with the battery each time you are done driving the car? A manual remote on and off battery switch can be installed, but they have to be installed where you can get to them easily and they can look ugly. A new electrical remote solenoid kit PIN 22-200 has been developed. This kit has a continuous-duty solenoid that is operated by a small remote switch. The button switch can be mounted anywhere on the car. This kit can also be an excellent theft deterrent.

Image 1: The Master Disconnect Solenoid will install inline on the battery cable.
Image 4: The master disconnect kit includes new ends for the cut battery cables and an installation tool. Strip the insulation back about 1" on the battery cables and install the new battery cable ends. The kit includes a tool to help crimp the new ends onto the battery cables. Using a center and hammer dimple the battery cable ends onto the cable.
Image 5: Boots are that install over the new ends of the battery cables at the solenoid. There is a red 14-gauge jumper wire that connects from the battery side of the new solenoid to the small stud on the face of the solenoid. With the battery cable and jumper wire connected, slide the boot up over the stud on the battery cable.

Image 7: A switch and wire to activate the solenoid is included in the kit. The wire lead is 20 feet long so the button can be mounted anywhere in or on the car. Choose a secret yet easy to get to spot to install your switch.
Image 8: The button switch has two wires. One wire will need to be connected to a good body ground and the other wire connects to the small stud on the starter side of the remote solenoid. To activate the remote solenoid (turn on the from the battery) the new button once. The car will now have full power from the battery. To deactivate the remote solenoid (turn off the from the battery) the button once again. Do not deactivate the solenoid until the car is turned-off. When the button to activate or deactivate the remote solenoid, you will hear the solenoid click. We mounted the button up under the dash so it is hard to see, out of sight but easy to get to.
