Default installing kill switch

Which would be easier to kill, the battery, starter, or fuel pump? An how would I go about installing a kill switch for either one of these? I am installing one for theft prevention.

fuel pump, that way it'll make noise turning over, and its easier to install from the relay under the Drivers seat

Installing a switch for the pump is the easiest. You can either do it for the really or you can install one for the inertia switch.

Most people put it under the dash some where you can hide it. Maybe even in the glove box or ash tray. All you have to do find one of the wires, more specifically the ground, cut it, lengthen it, add the switch and your off. To run less extra wire the fuel pump relay would be the easiest one to do.

if you want, I can show/tell you guys how to turn your cig lighter into the key to the starter kill. simply pop it out of the socket and it will not start and doesn't look any different, take it with you if you want or just leave it there but with out it pushed in it will not work.

What color is the ground to the fuel pump relay? Yes it will be a good idea if you show how to use the cig lighter as a switch.

its not that complicated, wire one wire to one side of the cig lighter, then back to the starter/relay. press the lighter in, turn the key
