Purge and activation on same switch.
This is to use the button on my shifter handle as my purge when my kit isn't armed, and as the activation when it is armed. Anyone see an issue?

Honestly? When I was buying parts funds got short. I got the hurst shifter **** with the button for 20 bucks. And I figure if I lose traction when I'm spraying, I'll lose less ground just letting off the button. I will go to a window switch later likely.

That diagram is not right at all. Terminals 85 and 86 are for the relay coil, 87 87a and 30 are the switched contacts.
You can use the master switch to supply the activation button, purge solenoid and heater relays. I'd suggest an indivigual switch for all functions as purge should be a momentary, activation and heater will be commonly maintained switches.

You may have something wired incorrectly. I'll look over it once I get home.

The above diagram isn't how it's wired, that was just an idea. It's wired right now how every other kit in the world is wired. It was a Hurst shifter. I got mad and bought a Nitrous Outlet window switch anyway after this episode. Plus that eliminates all visible switches in the cab. (My arm and heater are in the glove box)

A window switch is only $159.99. I would not run a manual without one period. But at the very least run a WOT switch inline with the button. At the VERY least.
I would also put the purge on a different button. One of those KISS kind of things. Simple saves motors.
If you want a hand going over the wiring or just your setup please let me know. Happy to get everything lined out the best we can.
