I have a new starter, alternator, and battery. My van keeps cutting off and I need a charge every time. I notice when I push in the kill switch I can start the van, if the battery is charged. I think the kill switch is killing my power. How can I disable it myself?

Kill switch? That's definitely not OE.
I have you tested the charging system while the van is running? You need anywhere from 13.5V-14.5V.

I would by-pass the kill switch if you can.

You may just be able to solder the wires together that go to the switch, thus by-passing it.
I had something similar on my '94 that I did the same thing to.

I hear it is more complicated than that. The wires do not run into the ignition and the battery? :huh:

Is there anyway you post a picture of what you have?

THE KILL SWITCH ON MY 1989 DODGE VAN B250 318 5.2 IS KILLING POWER TO MY VEHICLE. DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO DISABLE THE KILL SWITCH? :VHOT: undefined

You have something that is not factory installed so it's hard to know exactly what you have. There could be a million possibilities of what you have. If you can snap a pic and post it, we will be glad to help in any way we can.
I know it's frustrating. I have 3 vans and one time or another they've pissed me off too.
