how does an ignition kill switch work exactly? is it literally a switch...does it require a code? a key? and is it a good theft deterent?

 

do a search on kill switches for examples.

Instead of the starter wire, the ignition wire is "killed"

rather dangerous if your kill switch reengagues (sp?) while your driving.

It will be a relay controlled by something, an aftermarket switch or some combonation of switches in your car, i.e disables when your parklights are on or whatever...


Think about this carefully before you decide to do it...

 

thanks man...i appreciate it

 

It is usually a relay built into an alarm. It can also be triggered by switch mounted somewhere in the car also.

 

**** yeah...that's exactly what i wanted to hear...my car has been almost broken into twice in the year i've had it...i go to school at georgia state university in downtown atlanta, and one time i saw these three black kids (about 16-18) trying to ******* break into the passenger side...luckily i carry a 6 inch blade hunting knife and chased them down. second time was outside of my girlfriend's house, and i'm about sick of it. i want to rig a switch under like my seat or something like that...something not obvious at all.
