Volvo 240 Battery drain mystery 200 1989

Hi there,

I agree with what you say and I never said it wasn’t a possibility.

Yes, I have seen knife blade switches used on lots of equipment. Also in Frankenstein movies too! This was done for the effect to arouse thoughts of the tremendous power being involved!
Yow! the sparks would make a young boy eyes pop out! (%-) )

I could see the advantage of having one of those in a Mikes Garage cars, especially, it the battery was in the trunk or under a seat somewhere? With Lucas electrics, Just open the thing and no wrench hunting for a quick disconnect! In racing, thing do happen faster!

My sister-in-laws old VW Bug has that clumsy feature under the rear seat, but the engine and rear bumper are closer too!
Imagine the length of cable on other cars!
A neighbor of mine has 2010? Jaguar with his battery in the trunk and that car was Ford influenced and that didn’t change it. so that must be cool, with car designers anymore?

Thanks for your thoughts and our commentary. All of the Brickboard tabs needs the interactions!

Phil
