[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8837331, member: 674149"] I did that with the relay on the remote wire too, for 3 amps. I would bet money that remote wire into the relay is your problem. All accessory circuits lose power when cranking, because that starter can usually use everything you got. If you run a 12v wire to that trigger wire, and test it, that will tell you if it is. If it was me, I would honestly just get rid of that shut off nonsense. I'm not sure how long ford has been doing it, but chevy has for 15 years or so. The problem with it is you shut off your engine, which shuts off the oil pump. The oil drains back down into the pan. Then the light turns green, and before the oil circulates back into the top of the engine, you hit the gas because traffic is pulling away, and that is most likely the highest rev some cars will get. Its AFM on chevy and notoriously causing lifter failure. Chevy should have had a recall for it to remove, but that would probably be the most expensive recall ever. [/QUOTE]
