On a race car the way that s605 is wired is fine if you turn the master off.
Street car, if you leave the master on, the S605 will be a constant draw and drain the battery. It needs to be switched with something from a keyed source in the on position.
There's a minimum standard, then there are improvements.
Uhggg...... Why must there always be problems?! Are there relays available that would work like this, but not need to be switched? I generally break the master cutoff whenever I leave the car. But if I were to add this, I would want to do it correctly and not expose myself to potential dead battery issues. Wiring it all the way from the key switch seems like a hassle and lots of added wiring, which I don't want.
PS: sorry to hi-jack, but this is good info. and I think its relevent to the OP.
Find a wire that is hot when key is in run position and wire it to trigger the CD relay, pretty simple.
What's a 16ga wire weigh... not much and have it mirror route of the taillight wiring.
