[Healeys] Battery Master Switch Connections

[john harper]

Richard

The circuit diagram is correct. In one position the switch connects the
battery to the chassis through heavy terminals. In the other position, the
battery is disconnected from the chassis with the thinner white wire
connected via a smaller terminal through to the coil.

Thus not only disconnects the battery and stops everything working but
should a thief make a temporary reconnection from the battery to the
chassis the car still would not start because the contact in the
distributor would be shorted out leading to no spark be produced by the
coil.
