Big Red Button
September 12, 2007 by Rob.
I was not happy with the existing paddle switch when I added the contactor override. I had to remember to turn it off and that further undermined the safety feature. I only need to push it for a second when I’m starting on a hill. I found the perfect replacement at Radio Shack: a big red button.
I’ve always wanted a big red button on my dash board. It think it’s like a James Bond feature, but Laura says it looks like a nipple. Anyway…I’m taking suggestions for a label on the button. Don’t suggest “Eject.”
