kill switch?

wheres the best place to wire in a kill switch? I'm taking it one of those many wires that feed into the steering colum and eventually get to the key tumbler...?


cheers

You can do a search on this, there were a ton of great ideas, just a little while back.

BTW, I used the thick yellow one out of the base of the collum.

also perfect for a lawsuit, the wires on the steering colmn that are hooked to the ignition "SWITCH", switch, not lock cylinder, are high amperage wires, if u go and wire some dinky toggle switch to one of those it is liable to get very hot or start a fire, some places u can hook one up to are the clutch switch wires(if manual) or the neutral safety switch wires(auto), coil power,or you could always do it to the VATS wires if so equipped, but that might change the reistance, not sure that would be a good idea
