Battery Cutoff Switch
Im thinking its not bad for $30 - hella brand AND comes with a small harness. Im hoping the length is enough to lead out/through the trunk area so I can use it without taking the trunk cover. Thoughts? Last edited by z168; 04-09-2018 at 09:44 AM. |

Apparently I have one factory installed on my 8. a very very rare option for some reason. I'll have to check but it's on my build sheet.
Also curious if when you connect it will it have enough length to stick out from underneath the metal cap and past the spare tire. I figure even if it can get to the gap between wheel well and the tire, thats a good place for it to hide/reside. Please keep us updated on how it sits there.

Im hoping it does. Of course if it doesn't I could just extend it. And in fact it would've been cheaper if I did the wires myself and get a regular non-wired switch. but I liked the novelty that it looks factory |

It's always a good idea to disconnect the battery whenever you work under a vehicle. I remember about 10 yrs ago during Bullrun (coast to coast timed race), a participant put his Lamborghini Diablo on front jackstands, he was working underneath with the key on, jumped the starter circut with a tool, car jumped foward off the stand, crushed/ran over him and proceeded across the garage area into a Ferarri F40 and Gumpert Apollo. UGLY SITUATION!!!! A battery switch could have avoided the carnage.

z168, I'll look this weekend for it. I don't remember seeing it, but I just got the build sheet and the comment was I have one from factory. the register owner for the 8's said this was a very odd/rare thing to have on the car.
"This (referring to my car cb00168) and CB00169 were the only cars of the whole E31 production that had a battery mains switch installed. Maybe others had it installed too only the option S818 was never again in use."
