thanks for ur reply.. what amp switch did u use?

 

i just went to radio shack and got a auto rocker switch (275-730)

 

I installed a fuel cutoff switch in my car. It's a yellow/green wire that runs down the drivers door sill and to the fuel pump under the rear seat. First i just put a switch in-line with the yellow/green wire and added extra wire to mount my hidden switch. I ended up blowing the fuel pump fuse like 5 times at random times. It was a bad situation. Finally i removed the extra wiring and put a relay in-line with my yellow/green wire. I ran the extra line to my switch. It's worked 100% since then and i've never had anymore blown fuses. I highly recommend using a relay cause it's only like $6 and you can hide everything better that way.

Here's the most awesome honda/acura security site you'll ever see. It was put together be a guy that's on the forums. It has wire color maps, detailed pictures, and he gives excellent pointers and tips about how to make a car virtually impossible to steal. It has a menu in the upper right to find all the good stuff. Check it out.

Can't remember what wire to use, but a generic toggle/rocker switch will work.... side note- definitely do this, someone attempted to steal my hatch a long time ago and they only got it about 25 feet with the gas in the lines. The switch saved my car and lots of hassle.

 

i got a 30a switch .. its recomended that a 25a minimum is used so i should be ok with no relay i hope.. i mean the fuel pump has a relay already doesnt it?

 

Use this. It works.

yes, the main relay is what I wired off of. It's one that usually craps out during the summer on Hondas.
