Default Fuel cut off problem

After installing my fuel cut off set up, everything was working fine. The switch was working perfect, car turned on when i switched it on and turned off when it wasn on the off position. I tested it for the last time and the car was on for half a second and then suddenly the turned off without switching it off. My friend an I re-wired everything, checked the ground wires and the car still doesnt start. We checked everything and we even took the set up out and just wired it back to stock and still nothing. Everything was working fine before it happend. We don't know what could it be, any suggestions??

Hook up a voltmeter and make sure it's getting 12 volts for a second when the key is on. If not, check the fuses under the hood and under the dash. If that doesn't solve it, keep checking backwards on the wire with the voltmeter until you find power.

It turned out that it was my fuel pump fuse that was blown, I replaced it and it blew out again. What am I suppose to do now?

Is it blowing fuses with the car wired back to its stock state? If it is there is a short somewere. Unplug the fuel pump and put anthor fuse in there. Does it still blow?

Okay, I re-wired it back to stock state as for now the fuse hasn't blown yet. I don't get it we re-wired the kill switch 3 times and the fuse still blew.

Something has to be wrong with the way you are hooking it up. Your wires are fine?

Where and how are you wiring the switch, what is the color of the wire that you cut and connect to the switch?, have you got a link to the switch, and finally what is the MM&Y of car?
