Default Fuel cut off switch for a 2007 GT?

Hey guys! Im trying to install a fuel cut of switch on my 2007 GT but I pretty much know nothing about it. I heard that many fox bodies have them to prevent them from being stolen. Do any of you know where I can get one or how to install it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean a fuel cutoff switch in addition to the OE one in the drivers side kick panel that'll shut off fuel flow in the event of an accident?

I think thats the one. I was told that you can install a manual switch on an S197 under the driver seat by splicing a few cables together. That way when the switch it turned on, it cuts off the fuel system and the car will probably not start or start for just a few seconds. Its for anti-theft. I don't really know much about it thats why I wanted to find out more.

I think what you want is a switch for turning off the fuel pump. I had one on a couple of my fox bodied cars, positioned under the drivers seat. Mine had guarded switches, so that the switch couldn't be accidentally bumped while driving. I'm not sure where the wiring for the S197s fuel pump is run through. Maybe someone can chime in on that.

Yep, I think thats what he means...
Here are the wiring diagrams.
Have at it.
I just dont see the need for it with the new PATS system...
Its like tying a rope around your bike on top of the Kryptonite
Fugetaboutit NYC Chain and EVEO4 Lock...
Whats the need?
The S197 will not start unless the key has the proper PATS chip in it.
You trying to foil thieves that actually have obtained your keys?
Here is an idea, keep track of your keys....
Why not remove 2 tires as another precautionary measure of
unauthorized 'key in hand' use?
If they can bypass the FORD PATS system, the fuel shut-off
you install will be as easy as taking candy from a baby...
Besides, nothing stops a thief with a tow truck...
