well last night me and my lady friend were parked in my driveway at 4:30 in the morning with no lights on or anything. i see this loud *** fart can maxima come around my turn and go really slow by my house and once they got past my house they sped up and i saw them taking a U-turn right down the road. i knew something was fishy at 4:30 in the morning for a car to do that ****, so i run into my house and pick up my .45 (i am paranoid)and and go back out, they are parked on the other side of the street, when i walk out of my door the motion light turns on and they speed off as fast as they can down my road and out of the neighborhood. now i am paranoid as hell, i stayed up all night last night.
My question is, how hard is it to splice the line to the fuel pump and put a kill switch there? thats what my friend told me to do. I would get an alarm and everything but until they can figure out a way to turn doo doo into dollar bills, i am out of money cause of my swap. anyone?

Man, you should have waited untill they came up to your car, then went outside and fired a warning shot over their head.

beseman

thats what i was planning on doign if my motion detector hadnt turned on

beseman

anyone know about that switch and if it is effective?

I just did an ignition cut switch on mine. Same concept, except the car won't even turn over. I tried doing another on my fuel pump ground, but it still works, I think if I would have used a different wire on the pump, that would have worked as well. But my kill switch works awesome.

blackhatchy

i woulda put a bullet right into their tire or engine so they couldnt speed off

I have a fuel pump kill switch. Works fine. Maybe I'll do an ignition one someday.

naujcdl

can you guys please help me with that switch problem? i hava a lot of people looking at my car in the past few days and it has nothing in it, plain stock. Please direct me to a link on where to start to modify it. Thanks.

beseman

what wire do youll tap?

and also i think i might have known who it was, what would youll do if you were in my situation and you knew who was about to jack your car?

tell someone they know that your going out of town for three days, sit out side with your gun, and when they go and try to get in it walk over with your keys and be like "it helps to have these" then hold em hostage till the cops come, then since i solved your problem you can come to florida and buy me a

gezer

dont start **** man, its might just get really nasty. I would be really tempted to hurt them, but it would be better if you didnt. Just work on the car so it wont happen, and if u catch them tryin to do it again dont shoot them or u will be fuckeddd. Just do what ur doing now and keep it cool, and just try to make ur car not jackable

yaya

id rather tap the ignition rather than the fuel

taht way it wont even crank

Eskay@JDMCircle.com

does anybody have a DIY to make an ignition switch or fuel pump one.. Everyone would appreciate it. thanks

beseman

yeah i found out who the kid is, he is the brother of some girl at my school and he is a ******* *****, god i dont know what i should do
but someone make a DIY kill switch like skt said

Pritos

i made this diagram a long time ago.. hopefullly it'll give u a visual idea of how its done.. simple!

boostsohfast

Forget the warning shots over the head and shooting the motor or tire. Next time do us all a favor and put one in his head. It was in "honda" defense. Damn I hate thieves.

all_out_jdm

hey whats up youdont have to cut the ground wire? just the red wire?? and hook up the switch to it? well can you describe it more for i could do it to my car..thanks

I've posted this before, but I'll go ahead and do it again. This is taken DIRECTLY from http://www.teamsolwa.com

FUEL PUMP CUTOFF SWITCH CHEAP SECURITY
For less than $10, you can make your Del Sol impossible to drive off by even the most determined car thief. The idea is to install a switch in the power circuit to the fuel pump. The switch is hidden in a really secret spot. With the switch off and fuel pump dead, the engine quickly dies. Car cranks like usual, but doesn't run for more than 5 seconds. The only way to steal your car now is to tow it or put it on a trailer. You need the following stuff for the mod:

1. Wire cutters and striper
2. 10 ft. of 12 gauge wire or one size smaller(length depends on where you put the switch)
3. Exacto knife or razor blade
4. Shrink tube insulation or electricians tape (shrink wrap/tubes better - from Radio Shack)
5. Soldering gun and solder
6. A bunch of male/female connectors
7. A switch (two pole). I got a rocker switch from Radio Shack that was rated for automotive use.

Step #1. Here's the creative part. Find a location for hiding the switch. I'd tell you where I put mine, but then I'd have to kill ya. However, here are some suggestions:

· Under the shift boot. Invisible. You press through the boot cover to hit the switch. You might have to do some fabrication of a switch holder bracket.
· In the ashtray/cigarette lighter area (be sneaky)
· Inside the console compartment (too obvious)
· Inside one of the lockable storage bins (hmmmmm)
· Inside the trunk of the car (pain to get to, but max hidden)
· Any place that's a blind spot. I don't recommend the glove box or under the dash. Too obvious. Remember, the car jacker has probably already disabled your alarm, ignition kill, and starter kill system. He'll deduce that you have a poorly maintained car, or you have another kill switch somewhere.

Step #2. Remove the back center panel (just pull off) and big storage bin piece (screws). You might need to undo the screws on the back of the center console (one screw in bottom of console cover area). Then locate the top of the fuel pump. It's on the shelf where the storage bins rested, pretty close to the center. A round dohicky with a bundle of wires going to it.

Step #3. Carefully open up the cover of the wire bundle leading to the top of the fuel pump. The bundle of wires split at some point with 3 wires going to the fuel sending unit and low fuel connector, and two wires going to the C566 connector and pump. Mine had electricians tape around it. Locate the yellow/green wire (that's yellow wire with green stripe). This is the power wire (from ignition circuit) that fires up the fuel pump. [If still confused on the what is what, wires to ignore are yellow/white, black/yellow, black/white, & green/red. They are for sending unit to fuel gauge and low fuel light.] I used the yellow/green wire myself. Cut the wire. Strip some of the insulation off of both ends (just enough to connect with male and female connectors).

Step #4. Locate where you want to install the switch. Figure out how you're going to affix or attach the switch. If access to connecting the wires is limited, wait until the last minute to glue, screw, or bolt the switch down. I super glued mine. Improvise.

Step #5. Connect a new section of wire to the wire coming out of the fuel pump. You do have the option to hard wire the circuit . However, I soldered a female connector to the wire coming out of the pump and a male connector on the new wire (more about this later). Use a hair dryer to shrink insulation over the connection. Your option is to use electrician tape.

Step #6. Route that wire to your switch. Solder or use a female plug connector to attach to one pole of the switch.

Step #7. Now, take another piece of wire and connect to the other pole of the switch (female connector or solder). Route that wire back to the fuel pump area.

Step #8. Connect that wire coming from the switch to the remaining or only loose end fuel pump wire (the one that goes to the circuit and finally to the power). Use a female connector on the wire from the switch and a male connector on the remaining wire. Shrink tube insulate that puppy. The circuit is now complete. The reason I have a male connector on the wire coming from the power circuit and a female connector on the wire from the fuel pump is to have an emergency way to hook up the circuit if the switch fails. Just a failsafe backup.

To keep all the wires from chafing or disconnecting, I used small zip ties to bundle the wires to other wires or spots. Use some duck tape and tape it down. Whatever.

Step #9. Test the switch. Start the car. If it starts, the switch is in the "on" position. Then, switch the switch to the opposite setting. The car should stall out. Taaaadaaaa, fuel pump is switched off. If the car doesn't start in either setting, you have bad connection someplace. Recheck the circuit. You only have four places that it could be screwed up. The only other problem could be the cheap *** switch you bought at Target.

Step #10. If the switch works, finish the install of the switch. Hide it good. Reassemble all the panels. You're in biddness.

The only thing you have to be aware of is that it is a given you will forget about the switch. You'll jump in the car, turn the keys, and it won't start. That's when you slap yourself silly because you forgot (for the 10th time) that you didn't turn on the fuel pump switch. DAMNIT!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid. However, that's the idea. You want the car jacker to think that you're a rotten car owner that poorly maintains his car. Won't start. A more experienced car thief will look for a mechanical fuel cutoff switch under the hood or some other device under the dash or glove box. If the switch is hidden and he doesn't want to spend a lot of time looking, the thief will split to find an easier target. This security mod is a cheap, extra layer of protection. No guarantees.

Now, I could tell you how I've installed a second switch in that same circuit. The first switch is easy to find (car thief thinks "Ah HA!"), but I always leave that one in the ON position. The second switch is buried in the bowels of the car. That's the real one. I'm not going to tell you where that one is located. MOOWHOOOWAAAHAAAHAAA!

Tell everyone you have a gun, and that if anyone ***** with your car you are going to shoot them, and just be crazy about it, just let word on the street be known that if anyone touches your car or even has bad intentions for your car they will get shot

underrated99si

its real easy we installed on on my buddy ITR just need a toggle switch and some stero wire and just splice and attatch adn walla $2 later u have best security

beseman

ELUD THS

dam that sux man. now im al paranoid about my hatch, i live in the sdame area you do

skamal

Nice how-to jdmsol, I might have to try that some day. And baseman, take the advise of not shooting warning shots, or anything like that, just in-case they have guns them selves too. Just stay safe man.
