Brief Description:  ECU Power Switch & Warning Light Install

Finished wiring up the ECU power switch this morning and then installed it into the center console next to the ignition switch. This gives me a backup means of shutting down the engine by shutting off the ECU.

I also wired up and installed the ECU warning light which is a simple "idiot light" arrangement. If the ECU detects a problem with the ECU's internal oil temperature sensor, inlet air temperature, throttle position sensor or ECU-integrated altitutde sensor, the light will illuminate. The light is not particularly useful for dignosing a problem, but if it lights up and the engine is still running, it means one or more of those 4 internal ECU sensors is not working right and it might be a good idea to find someplace nearby to land. It also will illuminate if the aforementioned ECU switch it set to off.
