I put my isolator on the starter feed for SVA purposes so it can preven the engine from starting and not effect any of the other electrics

SVA manual just seems to say that the hazards must work with the ignition in the off or on position.

Why do you need to switch the isolator off during sva?

Cheers

My F1-2 passed with an Fia switch which killed everything. They didn't check it with it off. On the MotaLeira I plan to put the lights and hazards off the battery (via a fuse) as although the F1-2 passed I want to be able to leave the hazards/lights on if I walk away from the car and take the fia key with me.

sounds like a bit of a grey area (but I;ve not looked int he manual).;

My isolator cuts off the battery - the hazards won't work when the switch is out and that passed SVA.
