Killswitch for fuel pump and the use of horn
Hi guys
I was wondering if I could make a fuel pump killswitch with a 2 way switch to the pump and to the horn
kinda like this:
The idea was inserting the switch in the circuit from the main relay to the pump, and if the switch was selected for the horn, the main relay, instead of powering the pump, would power the horn.
I have a simple spare horn from an old suzuki i could use, so i wouldnt mess with the original one.
What do you guys say about this? Easy job?

Oh I see, try and steal the car and get blasted with a horn. I like it!
Just make sure the switch you choose is rated for the correct amount of current on that circuit.

My only question is ... is there any problem directing the power from the main relay to the horn, instead of the fuel pump?

What I have done before for customers is use a factory switch that either doesn't work(defrost) or is for an option that your car doesn't have. Example is installing an OEM foglight switch in a car that does not have them, and utilize that switch to trip a relay that cuts power to the fuel pump. Super stealth.
To be honest, alarms are an ok deterrent for smash and grab type scenarios, but a simple alarm isn't going to stop a pro from driving off with your car.(Well, maybe it will discourage one from continuing to try and take the car if it's not working out for them for whatever reason lol)

When I did my stealth install I used a variety of these methods:
How to install a car alarm. DIY car theft security for Honda and Acura, especially DEI brand Viper products.
