Well the fuel kill is even worse


I know the search function is broken. I will be doing a write up if someone does not beat me to it first. All you would need is a simple 1amp switch on the ground side of the relay and or a relay to have your alarm control it.

Just remember, no matter where you "hide it", loom up the wires. It's less effective to have a switch hidden inside cylinder #4 if there's a big black 18 gauge wire running from a hole in the block. :-)

My first kill switch location was inspired by the Ford "Panther" platform: Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car. These cars have an impact sensor in the trunk that will detect when a collision occurs, and thus turn off the fuel pump to minimize risk of fire. A friend had ridiculous amounts of bass and kept making his vehicle think he was in a wreck, and instead replaced this impact sensor with a cheap switch.

One night, his vehicle was broken into, before he had an alarm. The vandals broke the rear passenger mini glass, unlocked the door, and crawled in to gently remove the Kenwood stereo, very professional clean uninstallation on their part. Brad would occasionally flip the fuel switch with no particular reason, but began doing so more often after that incident. He has always had the trunk release button locked, and would just use the keyless entry remote to open the trunk.

One morning, he found his front passenger window was destroyed, his driver door open (grandfather woke him up asking why he left his door open, he's not senile but is dumb at times) and knew the worst. Steering column damage, ignition cylinder hanging, turning with a screwdriver would spin the starter but not start the vehicle. Flipping the switch enabled the vehicle to start, and he would start with a screwdriver until Town East Ford repaired the incident.

He prompty picked up a Crutchfield 2-way paging alarm, installed it, used it about 2 months and proceeded to crash the Grand Marquis when a defective rear OEM wheel slid the tire off and sent him into a tree while travelling approximately 45 miles per hour. Minor whiplash, and a damaged Kenwood KDC-X990 CD ejection process which still affects his Lincoln Town Car.

In short, the fact that he had much bass and kept making his car think he crashed ultimately saved his vehicle from being stolen, stripped, and tossed away. Thank God for Kicker and Infinity.

I don't know why I'm posting a life story, but perhaps such a personal experience will sink into peoples' heads and just install a ****ing 3 dollar switch to protect your thousands of dollar investments, why have people not done this yet?

tl;dr: put it in trunk like a crown vic

If you kill anything, don't kill just the fuel pump. It is very easy to diagnose and bypass.

dont hide the kill switch, install a car bomb and label the detonator kill switch so the thieves can "deactivate" it. >:D
