    It's just a generic keyed switch; Off-On-Start. It only controls the solenoid that powers the vehicle by interrupting the battery circuit. Once the switch is on, you start it with the normal start switch.

    One other mod I forgot to mention. Keyed ignition switch. It operates a heavy duty 24 volt relay to disconnect the batteries when off. I always leave my light switch in the drive position with this setup and never forget to turn them on .

    It had a cover on it when I bought it. No lift of any kind on it; bone stock. How about some pictures of yours?

    What's the purpose?

    On my 1045A2 the cable runs through a bracket that is bolted to the transfer case, maybe to keep it from torque rolling?

    A couple of more improvements I forgot to mention. 3/4 inch rubber mat to cut down on heat and noise. I bought it at Tractor supply; horse stall mat. Interior LED dome light with adjustable brightness. It's turned on and off with the installed door switches.

    Weatherstripping to keep water out of the intake valley. Easy but pretty effective.

    Humvee 6.5L engine block coolant plug

    Same idea that I used but took it a bit further.

    Wiper Extension

    Just leave them on there. My 1045A2 has them and the wipers work just fine. I wouldn't risk breaking something; nothing gained.

    A2 Serpentine idler bearing

    I sprayed directly on the belt at the alternator pulley and it immediately stopped squeaking.
