Battery Disconnect / Intermittent problem

[cphbc]

Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with their Battery Disconnect / Kill switch [ located behind passenger seat]

I had a problem on the track the other day , car just stopped after a medium G corner, then promptly started going again .

Carried on back into the pits , checked everything , but could not locate a problem.

Carried on for the rest of the day , no issues .

Only when I got home and went to Turn the Battery disconnect on, did I notice that it did not activate the ignition , gave it a bit of a wiggle and it worked .

Have checked the terminals and all tight and appear ok .

Next step is complete disassembly , but thought someone may have prior knowledge of the problem.

Cheers

Do you keep the dust cap on when not in use, just wondering if some gunk has got in the top fouling the disconnect.

If you had to wiggle the battery key to get it to workbthen that's where my money would be. The switch is fairly well mounted so any movement if the key shouldn't affect the conections.

The cap is always on , but purchased 2nd hand so may not have been the case previously .

Will clean it out and see if it fixes the problem .

Thanks

I'd say maybe a quick blast with wd40 might help. Works when sorting out water in the plugs on my old car

All sorted , a good clean out and some WD40 and its all ok .

Thanks for the helpful info .
