Ahhh, okay! Never had to heat slicks before! Ha! I'm such a newb!

Still, I'm not sure I want brakes on my shifter ****...

Oh, and it does "click" on and off, I think. Damnit, I'm not sure. I've really got used to the idea that I could use it to purge... Might be an arming switch now.

I was going to say something in my first post like this, but say that I didn't have a black T/A to do it!

I believe that the button is a monetary 2-way. You'll need a momentary 3-way for a cutout, so I don't think it will work.

Ever seen Men in Black, and the little red button in the car. That is what you need.

I think you could use the button to activate a relay to activate your cutout. I'm not an electrical expert, but I think there is a way to make it work.

You could put a three-way switch on it and use it for two things. IE line lock and purge.

I agree, The turbo boost is the best. Seriously though, I would use it for a line lock.

Skip all that and just get a sticker that reads "Do Not Push!"
