Here is what the ad says:

"Type II - modified reset Type II circuit breakers will remain “tripped” by an internal resistor (in the OFF position) as long as the circuit is powered. Type II breakers can be reset by turning the circuit OFF, or by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position. These devices are sometimes called "non-cycling breakers."

If I read this correctly, if you were to somehow disconnect the circuit, like disconnecting the battery and then connect it again, the circuit breaker would then trip again. It appears that the circuit breaker would not allow the car to burn up.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
