[DeTomaso] Pantera Advice Needed--

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

My battery is in the engine bay too. I have the switch in the parking brake box, there's a big hole facing away from the driver. I cover it with a plate with my switch fastened to it. I'll get you a pic later today.

Which means that I need to install my switch somewhat "out of sight", but still within reasonable reach from some location "in, or around" the car.

I have my ECU behind the passenger seat, behind the bulkhead upholstery cover. I have also moved my Odyssey P1200 dry cell battery into the engine bay, on the passenger side. Otherwise my electrical system is pretty much standard.... at least as far as electrical power distribution.
