black and orange wires are not used with a 3g upgrade. just tape them off. as far as the kill switch there are many options on what to kill

To clarify, insulate them at the alternator side (not on the solenoid side, unless you remove and reconnect the sense wire).

The 3G alt thread in the Useful Tech sticky has a discussion on the wires as I recall. We've talked about it lot in past threads as well.

Good luck.
