OK
A and B are the 2 cables that conect together with the stock switch. on pic 1 i show the inside of the stock switch, on pic 2 i show the plug on front of the quad. B is the positive that tranfer to A once you put the quad in run.pic 3 is the kill switch i got, on pic 4 C is the positive wire that comes out of the kill switch, D is a wire jumped on the male plug of the C wire and E is a ground cable.
now if i conect the groung like the pic an then i conect the C cable to B it dont work bc A and B must be conectet to get the start signal. if i plug C no B and jump D to A circuit is always on and if i let go the kill switch when i unplug the key and the kill swicth close it blows the red fuse on pic 5

any help will be great!!!!!!!!

I'm old w/a bad memory maybe some else can remember or Chris knows...The DS use to have a kill they removed it for legal reason but there are factory wires there you splice into black/black-white dont matter how....Heres a pic of ours w/ a connector.....

PS: Got the wrong tracking number I told my boy to call them and let us know where it's at today if they are closed when he gets home then tommorrow.

here is the thing mine is an 08 i don’t know if they had those cables, i was searching on other forums an they put one cable to the key switch,
My? Are logically simple i think
1- the only way you get switch is when A-B are together, is obvious that is you contact a ground to a positive wire you will get a shortcut, so that’s why i blow the fuse.
if i pull back the switch there is no contact between A-B to create that function

its impossible I cant have a KILLSWITCH !!!!! hehehe

I was blowing the fuse too look for a black/ black-white wire. Chris knows the 08 he'll be here soon. :D

Hang in bud your racing this weekend! :cool:

The black and black/white wires are on the key switch loom. Use those for a normally open killswitch (pro design etc.)

To wire into the on/off button on the switch block you need a normally closed killswitch. (pingel etc.)

[andiboy123]

ok the mine is a normally open, but the black wire and the black and white wire have 2 diferent functions the b/w wire always have power and the black wirecoutinue the signal once the stock switch goes to on, if you gound a positive wire you blow your fuse!!!!!!!
the b/w cable gets powered whe you put your key switch in on.
thats why i put the pics and indicate wires with letters so i can undestand how this works...

08's do not have the two wires coming off the CDI.


On my 08 I wired a normally open kill switch into the key switch wires (Black and Black/white) There is a third wire that you need to make a jumper for or the quad will not start. Not near my quad right now, but if you trace the wires off the key switch you will see the third wire. I believe I jumped the solid black wire to that third wire but it has been about 9 mos since I did this, I am getting old too (Maybe not as old as Terry but close LOL)

[andiboy123]

DONE!!!! thank's Criss
The A-B must be jump, the ground near the stearing join and the other one to the black an white wire at the key switch.

Glad I could help, now get out there tomorrow and get that Can Am to the front!

Ok... i know i am bringing back a old thread but just got my 08 ds and don't have the killswicth wire so...

here's my choice : a gunnar NC Killswitch or a pro design one.....

If i 've understood correctly, the gunna will be on the factory red kill switch wire circuit

the pros design should be on the ingnition key...

am i right ?

Next question : in this thread. you said in a case of a pro designn NO, i have to put the ks on the b/w and solid black wire.... third wire should be tap on the solid black one... but WHICH one :P


I'll post pic of my wiring this afternoon!

That is Correct 08 connect to the black, black/white at key switch plug N.O. killswitch

09 have a plug in the harness with the the same wires alreadly connected it has a plug like the one on the cooling fan with a cap on it it in the front by the 3 relays

[simond]

ok... in a case of NO ... just tap both wire on the b/w and solid black !?!?! no third wire to tap somewhere ?!?!?

Like it was said in the top of the thread, te b/w always have curent in...so ...


Am i better tu put a grunnar on the factory dead switch ..sound's like it's a lot less problem...

Cause i hate the pingel model all metal with a R pin... the gunnar is exactly like a pros design ( fork type) and it's more...common ..

[simond]

ok i've finnaly bought a Gunnar NC Killswitch...

on the gunnar papaer they told me to use a violet\ tan wire .... and grounding the Killswitch...


Eeeeee. i was thinking than the Ks gonna be where the black wire goes orange...anyonne could held ?

Thx
