How about an electrically operated kill switch, operated by a separate electric circuit running from a dash mounted switch to a real heavy electrical switch near the battery?

Lets be clear on terminology - its not a "kill" switch on a 928. There is no place on the stock wiring where a switch can be added that cuts all electric power to the vehicle and will stop the engine.

So its a Battery Disconnect Switch, if you turn it off while the car is running - it won't stop running, but you may do horrible things to your expensive electronics units when the alternator's regulator suddenly had no ballast to run into - voltage regulation will go to hell...

Mounting the switch anywhere where you will need to extend the wiring is a really really really bad idea... don't do it - you will likely create new reliability & functional issues.

Remote control switching (preferrably a latching relay) is possible but adds one more thing to go wrong.

While painful - fixing the root cause is probably actually easier, you just need the right tools, the right knowledge, determination and attention to detail...

If you just don't want a dead battery get one of these (drain sensing auto disconnect, push button reset).

Another reason I went with a switch, doing that wingnut in the dark on a regular basis was starting to muck up the threads, which rapidly gets worse.

Moroso sells a side mount disconnect switch I think would work MUCH better than the one I used, but I couldn't find on locally.

I installed mine right where the stock ground strap attaches behind the tool cover. I used an extra engine ground strap i had. The battery gnd connects to one side of the switch and the extra engine gnd strap makes the link from there to the original gnd point. Its all hidden away. All i do is remove the tool cover and turn the red key...a similar manner if you were to do it normally.

you dont realize how handy it is until you use it for the first time.
