Ah, but that's the nice part of opening the circuit, you don't have to
cut any wires. Just put spade connectors on each lead going to the
switch, a male and a female, and slip them into place. I have hidden
my switch so well that my wife couldn't find it when she needed to drive
the car! I used to use it as a shut off for the electric fuel pump
when I still had that in use.
