Clutch interlock
fuel
spark
ecu
main relay
all those could have switches put in line.

You could do combinations of switches that have to be flipped correctly to close a circuit to let the motor run...and if the wrong ones are switched, a taser will shock the person or set a time delay to spray pepper spray out the AC vents, or pop the air bags.

You could put dummy switches that when flipped wrong could disable something or set off the alarm, or maybe pop a solenoid to keep the gas pedal from being able to go down, or some sort of catch that will hold the brakes down when applied, or close an exhaust cutout that would choke the engine. If you had an automatic maybe you could make something to pop it out of gear.

I like the pepper spray out of the AC vents... But if i would go through the trouble of rigging a kill switch the ultimate mod would be...DEATH

If the cars ignition is tampered with a 30 second delay would begin to count down on your radio's clock and after that BOOM

Sure i'll loose the car but one less POS thief on the street is worth it.

doing JUST fuel is stupid, its retardedly easy for a decent thief to diagnose and even if its hidden in the most awesome place they can just jump it, so they dont even need to find the switch.

how about a fake kill switch that said "kill switch" on it. BUUUUTTT......when you flipped it, it started the car. A thief would never think of hitting it....
but the pepper spray out of the vents sounds good too. lol

Professional cars do not use them as "kill" switches. More like on off switches. Usually 12V main supply, ignition, and fuel pump. The rest of the switches you see do different things like activate datalogs, ECU inputs and outputs (boost, nitrous, etc), and turn on and off different accessories or pieces of electronic racing equipment.

I wouldn't suggest hooking them up yourself unless you are fluent on understanding DC voltage and relays and know what makes a good connection and what does... not.

dayumn that **** with the pepper spray is tight. is there a wire that i have to cut or conect a wire too to make the kill switch?
and i understand with those professional cars now. i thought there were kill switches but it also make sense that they are for other stuff for the car

You can hook up a killswitch to a killswitch, so that should answer your question.

It's up to you. For professional cars, they are more for safety than security measures. You can have as many kill switches as you want. Primary, then secondary, to third, to quads, to whatever you name it. It's what it disables and how good you hide it that counts.
