Kill switch ideas?

[Swearbody]

This is something I desperately need to do. I live in the hood fo real. (bham al). I had a (r)danger stolen a few years back. I want to wire one in to my ignition via the distributor. In fact ill do so and make a video for my channel and let you all know when its done.

So where would you hide the switch/key? Im thinking in my locking tool box....

On sale at Jegs. You can remove the key in the off or on position. Easy peasy!! This will wire to kill battery or interrupt ignition circuit. Im ordering one today and ill post my results once installed

I never liked the clutch petal starter safety switch. So I unplugged it and hooked it to a toggle switch behind the dash. Would also work with the Park/Neutral safety switch on an automatic.

Haha, it happened again Sat. I walk out to the driveway and the camaro is gone. Lol Wtf

Damn, that sucks!
I've had a Camaro, a Sierra Grande, and a street bike stolen in my life. All of them were in the Houston area. Eventually got all of them back, somewhat stripped.

The only problem with those is if it is visible or easy to see, they know what it is and can just short the terminals on the back.

No ****, wow

Glad I'm just dreaming it. Lol

I have had stereo systems stole tho. That sucks cause they're gone.

@Bextreme04 I totally agree. I am considering that in my install. Was thinking about in my locking tool box but really dont want a run of wire that long controlling ignition. I plan to go the distributor interrupt route.

I may end up putting it behind the seat down under the cargo tray and have the round portion that sticks up pop through. It wouldnt be noticed there unless you knew to look and is easily accessible when getting in the truck. well accessible i dont know about easily. There is a drain plug there that is almost already the perfect size and the wiring and terminals would be between the body and heat shield. Its not an ideal location to use if its a daily but for me....who drives my trucks for leisure its workable. The drain plug is shown in the pics on both sides and you can see that it is tucked away pretty well.

It's a reacuring dream. It's a always in a diff place. Sometimes it switches cars too. Even when I had the 2005 Dakota I'd dream it would get stolen. I don't why but, it happens a lot. Luckily not for real.

Listen, I'm not a thief, never considered stealing a car, so if I know this I guarantee you the car thievess know it.A starter interupt isn't going to work it takes me seconds to touch the solenoid with a quarter and crank a car to see if I have a starter problem or a wiring/switch problem. A dizzy interupt isn't going to work because everyone knows a chunk of wire alligator clipped to the hot lead on the alternator to the batt terminal on the dizzy and it will run forever.Instant on alarm wired to the door switches, no false alarms, but if someone opens your door you know it.Interupt fuel, they get to the street and die they aren't going to try to figure out why the stolen trucks getting no fuel while people are honking at them or trying to help them.They are going to run away leave your truck sitting before they get to tear it up.

 

[Bextreme04]

Yep, if fuel injected you need to block fuel or ECM power. If carbureted.. you really don't have a good option for power interruption. The trucks are just too simple, you really only need to short the starter and have the previously mentioned hot wire.

It might actually make more sense to have a switched ground from the coil to the engine or frame or something like that. Then even if they hotwire from the battery to starter or battery to ignition power, their power wire gets instantly shorted to ground and burned up. If your switch fails or you forget to turn the switch off before trying to start your own truck, you will just pop your ignition fuse.

My truck has a mechanical pump so thats a no go on fuel cut via alarm. I agree that with any sense and little time anything on a carbed vehicle can be bypassed. That having been said Im certainly not going to do nothing and just give it to them(thief).
I like the idea of an alarm on the door coupled with a kill switch. once the alarms going off hopefully they would be too rattled to figure out there is a (kill switch engaged) before being deterred.

 

[Ricko1966]

A ballvalve and compression unions in the fuel line dirt simple.But I'd I'd bet someone manufactures a 12volt fuel stop solenoid for a tractor,forklift, something that you could plumb in to the fuel line, and trigger from a switch, the power antennae lead whatever. Heck if you got dual tanks run 1 dry and switch to the dry one when your afraid of thieves.If you got a single tank get the selector valve and there's your fuel kill

 

[Ricko1966]

My very first search for a 12volt fuel cutoff, it's funny this was the only one I looked at.
