the switches have turned out to be an absolute nightmare. they arent proper switches, as in the stay on/off, they just send a pulsed output (i assume to an ECU that controls everything)
so i've got alod of switches from halfords, and merged the 2 together to keep it looking the same from the outside, but having proper switches behind it

Why do you need a switch to turn the ECU on and off and the coil on and off?

the ECU and coil each have their own power supply due to the aftermarket management/loom
