I was wondering if anyone could possibly give me some detailed instructions on how to install a kill switch? probably a fuel pump type one or if anyone else has a better idea I wouldn't mind hearing it. I really would like some step by step instructions with all the help i could get. I understand that this is a sensitive project so feel free to PM me or I can give you my email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Ryan

For the fuel pump all you need to do is pop the small three screw cover out the hatch area...then cut the proper wires and extend then too a hidden location and wire up a 12v switch (any auto parts store has switches)...it's stupidly easy infact all you really need to cut is the positive wire and extend it...one wire and you're done!

i would just put a switch on the starter relay ground. u can get to it where the theft deterent computer is and cut the wire and put a switch in between. that way if u forget u want kill the battery turning the starter til u remember ur fuel pump switch lol.

You'd be better off putting a switch in the ground for the FP relay, that way if your wire grounds out, nothing catastrophic happens...

That's what I was thinking, why tap into the hot wire when you can just use the ground. Unless there's some advantage to using the positive?

Im gonna do this .... but Im gonna use an OEM rocker switch or something that blends into the dash. MAybe even use two OEM switches one either side of the dash.. one up one down or some configuration that will complete the circuit.

Hidden in plain sight haha. Label them something stupid like tail light washer right next to the headlight washer(if so equipped). I think one normal swich(up/down) then one rocket switch would be pretty fool proof. How likely would someone be to flip one random switch then hold the other while trying to steal the car.

Like I told you in the PM I sent, the kill switch goes hand in hand with the fuel pump rewire. do a search for that - there are some pretty detailed threads outlining it. As i mentioned, install a switch on the relay ground.

After reading the fuel pump rewire threads, the kill switch install should be fairly obvious.
