Like Philip, the mad engineer said use a Ford starting solenoid and you can
use your ONE battery to power a HEAVY draw without running mongo big wires
into the cabin, thats what solenoids do :-)
I use one with the push button switch for my glow plugs so I dont have to
use a huge switch and wire as the GPs draw (80amps) Its not a big deal to
wire up. They'l show you at the auto parts store where you get the
solenoid. You can run the small wires (14 ga) through into the cabin next
to fuse box. The round rubber thing that the vacuum lines run through.
There a couple other places too.
