1. yes, but very dangerous. You could shoot w/o being wide open.
2. It's not a "pwr/gnd" switch. It's a "connect/disconnect". You wouldn't be running pwr and ground to that switch. think of it as an interruption in one electrical line. If you run a ground wire to it, it will be ground coming out of it. The switch has markings:
N.O. = normally open. connecting to this terminal means there is no connection until the switch is activated.
N.C. = normally closed. connecting to this terminal means it is connected until the switch is activated (opposite of above)
C = common. This is the terminal for your incomming line regardless of which way (N.O. or N.C.) you use.

Ok on this picture im seeing some power coming from the arming switch tho and the other end into the relay.....but my real problem like i said is that all wiring diagrams i see are for WOT with 2 prongs and mine has 3 which 2 do i use? I knew u labled them for me but which ones do i connect to what? Im assuming "C" is from the toggle switch then "N.O" to the relay?
