I don't want to go into too much detail about what I'm planning with my starter switch (Nothing secret, just want to get the bugs worked out before I say too much) but basically, I will not be using the stock ignition switch at all in my car when I'm done.
Going over the ignition switch it looks like, when the car is in the IGN position, the "C" terminal feeds the coil through the resistor, and the Screwed Lug on the back of the switch feeds everything that uses keyed power from the switch (gauges, turn signals, etc).
From an "electrons passing through copper" perspective, what is the difference between the "C" terminal and the lug? it seems both are powered on and off at the same time, and both get powered from the same input, so in theory, I should be able to power both the coil, and all the "keyed switch electrics" (not accessories, but things that are only powered when the switch is in the "ON" position) from the same circuit, correct?
Thanks
