Default Electrical Shut-offs.....

Since I seem to have a poser drain that I cannot source, I want to install a electrical shut off to eliminate the battery while the truck is sitting and not being used (ie every night and during the day while I am at work...) Currrently I have what appears to be a electrical shut off on the breakfast plate (however the rear of it has never been on sincce I owned the truck). I have attached some photos, and was wondering if anyone knew if this unit is still available. I like it because it is on the front of the truck and does not require lifting the hood each time, nor running large amounts of cable to install it in the cab...). Also, what other style is everyone else using? I am also thinking that this will be a good thing to have when I finally get the winch sorted out.... cheers...

Andrew, don't know if you ever got the kill switch sorted but I found a switch that might be what you are looking for http://www.rallylights.com/hella/switches_kill.asp . The one in the back looks very similar to the photo you posted.
Sorry for the delay in finding an answer, what with work and sleeping and breathing I must have gotten side-tracked
Hope this helps

Cole Hersee has what you want. Not that exact style, but all manner of battery disconnects, up to 2000amp. I have one like this for my winch.

Scatterling.. I think that the rear one is the one I want... I have emailed them on measurements... hopefully it will work, currently I have a isolator switch on the battery, and since have found the power drain (the tach was drawing 1.5 amps with everything turned off....) thanks....
