im going to radio shack soon. i need to know what parts i need to install a fuel pump kill switch.

and some how to's, cuz i dont want to mess anything up, and any tips and tricks would be appreciated.

and pictures ! im a visual person

 

nvm...i did a search and i found a hard CORE kill switch.

but its gonna be a bitch to wire up.

 

An on/off switch, and a single pole double throw relay, should be all you need.

assuming you have wire strippers, wire, solder/ iron, tape, and a circuit tester of some sort.

 

nah, i found a better one. i love my car, so its worth the pain.

 

care to share your "hard core" kill switch u found?

 

Hard core.....Huh what a joke....
Real installers do Ghosts and Trojans

I guess something beats H-T APB's

Nice article

 

There is a much easier way to do this. Look under the dash on the drivers side for a grey box. This is the main relay which controls the ECU, Fuel pump, and other things. Cut the black ground wire and add in a switch. I did this to my integra and the switch and wiring has not burnt out and its been over 8 months. I will try and get pics if you cant find it.

 

Well, yes that would work but the point of cutting it at the fuel pump is so the kill switch cut-off wiring is not as easily accessible to the thief. If it's right under the dash he could easily look under and see it and just knock-out the wiring.

 

I am going to install mine this week. I noticed from reading that some people use relays and some don't. I figured a 30A or so toggle switch will do the job without a relay. Using a relay would be kind of risky the way I'm thinking about it. If it's constantly engergized for X hours at a time almost every day then there is a chance it could crap out on you then you're screwed. comments..?
