Ideas for kill switches?

I am not a very creative guy lol. Just need some ideas on kill switch (hidden) setups to disable the car. These IROC's are bad *** looking cars and easy targets

Re: Ideas for kill switches?

A switch grounding the coil Neg terminal with the wire to the switch hidden inside the stock harness makes it almost impossible to hot wire a engine

A switch on the wire to the fuel pump also works

Re: Ideas for kill switches?

what about doing like this:

RFID wired into either your VATS (if it is bypassed), starter, ignition, etc.

wireless and completely concealable.

Re: Ideas for kill switches?

For starters, we put a chain on the hood. So you cant just reach under and pop it.

We have a cool little switch on the dash for the starter kill. Dont really use it much, as the alarm will cover that.

Have a hidden switch on the fuel pump.
Hidden switch on the Ignition, that also kills the interior lights.
^ use these all the time..

If someone happens to get under the hood. Its all been rewired to seperate the power coming from the drivers side & the ecm coming from the passengers side. < did this after seeing all connections within 5 inchs to start the car.
Also the purple wire for the starter is in place, but it does nothing. A new wire was installed thru stainless steel tubing, have to use a die grinder to cut it.

You can do pretty much what ever you can think of to install for kill switches.....

Had my car since 1986, I look under there sometimes thinking...... how the hell did I wire this
