    how to make a kill switch for anti theft......

    i need to know how to make a kill switch for my car. i heard it was easy but what do i do? i have plenty of toggle switches and wire,wire connectors etc, but were do i connect wires? i can do everything needed but i have no idea how to make one.does anyone have one? i need one to make my insurencec 25% cheaper, that means i will save a lot, plus i would like to have one so i can deactivate my car if i am in a unfamiliar place. so if anyone could take the time and tell me were to run wires,and if i can use a toggle switch i would greatly appreciate it.i just want to beable to switch the toggle off and make it so car dont start at all or even turn over and than when toggles flipped back the cars fine again.BUT HOW???
    thanks guys.

      I posted a link a while ago i will see if I can find it again. I did it a little but ago . The way I did it was a little more complex then just a toggle switch but not that hard. Also check if you only save 25% on your theft or whole plan. Its probaly just theft so it wont be to much.

                      I dont know if youll be able to do this in time without a diagram but here you go. . . and this may not be the easiest way , you need to know how to wire relays and I forget what color the wire are on the clutch..


                      10 guage wire.
                      small package of 18 guage wire. Buy package of 10-12 guage butt connectors. The type you crimp on to connect one bare wire end to another.
                      Buy 12 volt, single pole relay, 30 amp or so.
                      Buy package of push together 1/4" connectors (plug in type - type you can insert and detach). At least that's what my relay needed. In other words, buy something to connect wires to your relay.




                      Identify the wires running through the clutch switch. The ignition circuit requires both the key to be on 'start', and the clutch to be depressed . The one you want is near the floor. The clutch needs to be pushed down to the floor to empower the switch. There's two green wires wrapped together from the switch which route above the fuse box and to a harness plug. You can disconnect the plug to give you a bit more room to work. The wires are sort of clipped up above the fuse box, but you can feel the clip, and unclip it to give you more room to work. You will know you have the right wires by disconnecting the harness plug and trying to start the car - remember to connect battery ground if you choose to do this test.


                      Connect 10 guage wires to Relay. The relay will identify four connectors. Two will show they are for a open/close contact. This is the one you want. The contacts are open until current is passed across the other two connectors. Now before you crimp on connectors to connect the heavy wires to the relay, you need to subdivide off some ignition circuit's power to go to one of the other two connectors. You use the ignition circuit's power to _also_ go through your switch (lighter). You could solder a wire across the two connectors, or do as I did and using a short two inch piece of wire jumper between them.

                      Connect Lighter to relay. Pull out your lighter. The ground is connected to the casing of the lighter socket, and the power is connected to the screw in the centre of the casing. There is a black plastic harness holding both wires so they plug into the lighter as one. Now however you want to do it, the goal is to disconnect the 12 volt source, and run a light guage wire from the relay to the positive (power) connector on the lighter, and have the power pass through the lighter and out the ground. I cut into the ground. I crimped on a 1/4" plug in connector, and folded the wiring plug and power wire back,and taped them up. Now I had the ground connected to the lighter, and a new lead from the relay to the lighter's power lead

                        And I found this one online. http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/starterkill.htm

                        You just convert everything so it can be used on our cars.


                        See if you can show them later that you have the starter kill. So you have time to do everything correctly.

                          could this be done to kill the fuel pump?

                            yes anything that would run on power...but it will allow your starter to crank which would burn it up while they try to steal it.

                            i have always wanted a battery switch thats very obvious, and a starter kill thats hidden...that way they think they figured it out and nothing.

                              I already did this shit with a toggle-switch for the fuelpump and it kills it as soon as you start up the car. The lines should be where the passenger seat is at in the back on the passengers side.
