grab the gorund wire and the main relay. Way better and harder to defeat. But make it look stock is the key.

usually auto switches are 20a and over, unless you are using a relay.

Wire it into the control side of the relay. Not the side that actually powers the pump.

Any toggle switch will do IMHO. Ive never ever heard of a toggle switch messing up a fuel pump for a killswitch install.

switches hardly mess up amperage or effect resistance. if your worried get a reading put the switch in and take another reading. could almost gurantee you it wont even change as long as its not a fused switch
