    I once wired my AC compressor to starter.
    It quit kicking on, that locked it engaged while key was on, but completed the circuit, you could turn off key and put it on pocket, just killed your gauges.

    Had to stall in gear.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Make sure the thumb screw on the pump didn't get screwed in for starters.
