    Less snarky version. Sounds like you have a single pole, double throw switch (SPDT). Google will tell you the details of how that works. You want to use the middle contact and one of the outer ones; the other will not be used. The switch will have two or three positions. If three, the center and one of the other positions will turn the ignition off and the last position will turn it on.

    Got mine rigged up. Do you guys add any sort of "glue' to the connectors so they dont rattle out? I dont think I wanna bother with solder, but makes me nervous they could just pop off randomly at the track.

    I saw the pic, you use spade connectors on the back of it? If so, pull them off, squeeze em just a C-H with some needle nose, and put them back on. They'll only come off in a crash at that point. Not vibrate off.

    Just tighten them a bit. You really wanna get pro-style, put some silicone grease in there to keep the corrosion out.

    Or heat shrink pushed up over the connector and then heated.

    Get the connectors on nice and firm and then Use some silicone/UTV/etc to cover it all up. A big glob on the back. Now they're corrosion and water protected, and won't come off.
