The Ford Barn - View Single Post - How have you kept your engine warm at night outside?

Mike, what John is talking about will work excellent. It's just a couple wires and a toggle switch that loops around the resistor (the original resistor is under the dash, also best to use a toggle that you have to hold in the on position, when you take your hand off it automatically goes to the off position). I guess you could start from the ignition switch too.

The solenoid version will only be on when the starter button is pushed. It is automatic on/off.

***If this is what you are asking: best to my knowledge there was never a factory bypass. This was a modification that was done by the owner. Best to my knowledge anyway, which is just that :]'
