Could this work also as a defacto accessory switch?  My radio is not hot wired and my understanding is that when I turn the ignition switch on to play the radio, without starting the engine, the fuel pump is pumping also, and that is not good.  So I can't play the radio unless the engine is running.  I suppose with the fuel pump kill switch in the kill position I should be able to play the radio with the ignition turned to on with no harm done, right?  Or is there something else bad about having the ignition on without starting the engine?
Thanks, Anthony
