with all the cars being stolen lately i figured id start a thread about it, i did a search and didnt find anything . this is something i think everyone should do especialy if you own a H/A. now im not asking to share your entire setup that would be retarded or where your switches are but what did you use ? did you use a relay ? anybody start a fire ? im sure alot of people would be doing this if they knew how, i know i sleep better at night knowing my shit is switched off at like 2 diff places ..... thats it thanks for reading this looooong as post

 

i usually just have one kill switch locate under the ******* right next to the ***** far right from the ******* c'mon if i told u id kill you..lol....naw but its a cheap way to have a security system if people dont wanna get expensive alarms...

 

yeah thats what i said it would be stupid to tell where your shits at . even with an alarm they still get it no prob if they really want it, this is a little tougher though

 

definately run a relay, this way you can use a small micro switch without worrying about the amp rating. and it keeps the fuel pump power wire intact....yes you cut it, but the contacts of the relay basically is a wire, so it's like adding an inch and a half of wire to the middle of the power wire, so there is little that can fry on that side. The coil is a low current device so hook to power (acc) and the other side to the switch then to ground. A micro switch can be mounted almost anywhere, and if you get a thin push on push off, you can hide it under the carpet.

 

damn good info

 

^tru

 

Very true. i have mine mounted were its almost impossible to find. but i ran mine from the starter.

 

The stealth enable/disable switches that I install are done similar to how Kender does it.

Relays are good, but not always needed, since there is more than one way to solve a problem. -Bob

 

No, doubt there is more than one way to skin a cat. You and I have the knowledge to look at the switches rated amps and the circuit, to make sure the switch doesn't fry, but for the novice that may be reading this I try to give the "safe" way that has the least chance of frying something. I have run switches on the power wire to the ecu, low current, so a direct switch. Alot of it depends on the circuit and how hidden the switch. I stole a button out of a 1980's vcr and used it for a push button starter, it definately needed a relay. I come from the school of thought that says "Measure twice, cut once" so I tend to put relays in even when they aren't neccesarily needed, so "when in doubt, don't leave the relay out"
