starter kill tips?

What are some of your favorite ways too hook up the starter kill.

When you cut the starter wire from the ign harness, it's so obvious that the odd wire just coming out there is the starter wire..  make it a little easier to figure out which wire to jump?

Or do you blend it with the rest of the thick wires going to the alarm and tape it all up.

Ok I have a question about the starter kill.

1)  How does the starter work?  Is it always have 12V going to it? Or always grounded waiting for 12V?    that wire you are cutting, it has 12V right.

2)  Now secondly I see the starter relay schematic everywhere, why does it have a diode across 85 and 86, what is that supposed to do?  Is that built into every relays or it's something you have to add yourself?   I don't understand why is there a need for the diode anyway?

you dont need a diode for a starter kill relay. the diode in the case of a relay is used for spike suppression. some relays already come with a built in diode which you wire - on 85 and + 86.  but if they dont come with the diode 85 and 86 can be reversed.
