Default "NA/turbo timer,fuel pump kill switch,circuit breaker"

Has anyone ever thought about hooking up a "circuit breaker" to their/or with their na/turbo timer, so that when the timer shuts the car off it kicks the circuit breaker and acts as a fuel pump kill switch? Meaning that you have to manually cut the circuit breaker back on to start the car!!

ANY IDEAS?????

Too risky, A circuit breaker is only going work if something is being shorted or grounded out. I wouldn't recommend causing a short to activate a device. Good ideal thou.

Ditto the above, you can do the same thing with 2 SPDT relays and any momentary switch. 94

If you don't know what a spdt relay you really don't need to be trying to do what you are trying do. You are about to cause some expensive damage to your car electrical system. Do you know what a short is? Do you know over time if you keep shorting something out over time. What ever is causing it is going to wear out. or burn up. I hope you have full covarage insurance, becasue you have two people advice here that deal with car electronics everyday-fcm and me- and I got a feeling that you are about to set your car on fire. All it takes is a smoldering wire. Good luck to you

Don't you have a alarm on your car? Why not work around that. I have done alarms on car with turbo timers. Why not just use a relay to seperate the alarm ingnition wire and the shock sencer with the car is under the control of the turbo timer. ?

How to do what? Your, lets see if I can burn my car to the ground.

Or a simple passive "latching relay" setup that will work with or without turbo timer and does not need to be wired to turbo timer, and can be used to "interrupt" any line you want? 94
