Default Need a Kill switch diagram please

I need someone to show me how to hook up a kill switch to my oil pressure and water temp buzzer so it will kill my engine in case of low pressure or high temps. My dumbazz has already heated up twice because I can't hear my buzzer at speed. Thanks

Are you sure you want your motor to die at WFO or close to it when your control depends upon throttle position? What about a louder buzzer and or warning light? Should be a simple job to tie the signal for the warning buzzer to a relay that would feed a light or extra buzzer.

Autometer makes a super bright shift light for race cars, and they also make bright warning light kits. Try one of them. Don't set up a kill switch on your oil pressure or temp sensors, that's dangerous. Besides, how would you start the engine? There's no oil pressure when it's not running, so the kill circut would be active. A catch 22!
You would have to install a start bypass.
