My car has 2 starter wires, a main wire and a secondary wire for cold starting. When you start the car current flows in both wires but if you cut the main wire and try to start, the starter motor will not start. Now is it safe to connect both starter wires to one starter kill relay?

You only need to put the starter kill relay on the main starter wire

Doesn't work, the current runs through the second wire and into the first wire when attempting to start the car with the alarm on - hence bypassing the relay ( similar to connecting one wire to two parking light wires without using diodes)
