Kill switch placement

[destroyer1362]

I need opinions on where the best/most convenient/smartest place to install a kill switch would be. I have the money for a security system but don't see the point in buying one because there's nothing worth stealing inside my truck. I have thought about putting it in the console or under the drivers seat but idk... where do you guy think it should go?

Somewhere where only you would know the location. I wouldn't have a list of possible locations on the net, just incase someone wants to get your truck. Just find an accessible place for you, that is hidden and won't be an inconvenience for you. I have an Idea, but I'll PM u.

I have heard you can connect a 1 amp switch to your fuel relay ground and it will work. I also found this: http://www.killswitchcentral.com/?gclid=CJLUl57BoJ8CFQ_yDAodP21-_g to give you an idea of how small the switch can be

i'm confused, a kill switch that will do what? are we talking about a sec. system or cutting out something on demand?

LoL

Stop somebody from starting your vehicle.

 

[destroyer1362]

A hidden switch that cuts the power to the fuel pump that no one but you knows about.

under the seat, im talking almost inside the seat, behind the dash, around where the brain of a security system should lie, anywhere a thief would have a hard time looking for.

a friend of mine said he had some sort of button under the floor by the e brake only he knew about and when he was ready to start he would place hie foot on the button before the truck would start .

What about hiding in plain sight? Say your vehicle does not have factory fog lights. So you go to a junkyard, find a stock fog light switch and put it in the factory spot, wire it up to be a kill switch. Now you have a switch that is not a pain in the ass to get to, but would work perfect and who is going to think to push the fog light button when the doesn't start. Well except me...and you guys now.

sounds like a good ider.might do that one thanks

if you do it take some pics. i am interested to see how it comes out. It just kind of came to me thinking about a switch and making it look stock. I am kind of thinking of doing it now but since i already have fogs i might have to come up with something else.

I just saw this one in a ricer forum.. go figure. They wired it into the cigaret lighter. You take the lighter out when you leave your truck and it opens the circuit to the fuel pump relay and plug it back in to close the circuit. I am only mentioning this one because I don't think I'm doing it this way.. or am I?

I don't see how that would work because the cigarette lighter circuit is only closed when the lighter is pushed in, but then after it heats up, it opens when it gets hot enough and cut the fuel pump circuit. Or at least that's how I see it in my head.

That seems correct i think there is only 12v going to it when it is pushed in. Kind of like if your phone charger gets bumped out a little it does not charge, it has to be all the way in making contact.

well that wont work for me i dont smoke and i lost my lighter so i said the hell with the lighter the only thang that goes there now is my sat radio and cell charger ,i think my lighter fuse is blown anyway last i checked so i use the two aux plugs

basically the cigarette lighter will only be used for the kill

 

[puckhead]

So we would have to tap in to the fuel pump wire? Where is the easiest to do this at?

 

[drowndindreams]

cigarette lighter + fuel pump = not good
