My continuous solenoid is wired through my 4 pole cutoff switch and my ignition switch. That way I can leave the main power on and not worry about the battery going dead.

I learned that the Cole Hearsey(sp?) solenoid is much better than the ford style solenoid I was using. The Cole Hersey one has lasted 4 years now, I used to keep a wrench in the car so I could lean under the dash and whack the old ford style so it would start working, one whack was good for 24 hours.
