I was taking a look at the passive starter kill diagram in the relay page under BASICS. My question is : Do you really need a second relay for it to function or is the second relay used to somehow protect the momentary switch? It seems to me like the switch could do the work by itself instead of energizing a second relay to energize the first. -Thanks.

Hi Tight_dbz,

This is a latching type setup activated through the momentary push button. You can even do it so that the relay requires two power sources on the coil of the relay like remote out from head unit plus the momentary.

If you use just the momentary and one relay, you'd have to press and hold during crank to enable a start but it wouldn't work as an ignition kill.
