I just tried it on my car. I have an alternator and the kill switch is on ground. The car was running and and the kill switch could not turn the car off. DUH!

Does anyone have a fix for this?
Yes, this is a common problem while confusing a battery disconnect switch for kill switch. There are high amp disconnect switches with 2 NO contacts, one for battery and another for the ignition or charging system.
Adding a relay probably will not correct the issue.
